Research in the Winter laboratory is directed toward the
synthesis and characterization of metal-containing compounds. We are also exploring the use of molecules prepared
in our laboratory for their ability to serve as film growth precursors
in atomic layer deposition and chemical vapor deposition. Projects
are also aimed at the development of metal complexes containing
nitrogen-rich ligands for energetic applications. A central theme in our laboratory is the
application of molecular orbital theory to understand the properties of
new complexes that we prepare.
