Research Interests

Our lab has worked on various projects in synthetic, organometallic chemistry, involving the elements silicon, sulfur, selenium, and boron. Currently (2009 - date) we are working on condensations of nitride with various phosphorus (III) substrates to produce reduced phosphorus nitride materials (polymers and refractories).
