The Charles H. Winter Group
Department of Chemistry, Wayne State University

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.
