Research in the Winter laboratory is directed toward the
synthesis and characterization of metal-containing compounds and
nanoparticles. 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, and exploration of
nanoparticle surface coordination chemistry. A central theme in
our laboratory is the application of molecular orbital theory to
understand the properties of new complexes that we prepare.
