The chemistry of actinide elements continues to be a flourishing field of active research. This talk will focus on work from several areas of our current research in this area of the periodic table.
Research
Single-molecule magnets (SMMs) are molecules that behave like nanoscopic bar magnets. They are interesting due to various potential applications in high-density information storage, molecular spintronics, and magnetic refrigeration. The challenge in realizing these applications lies in designing molecular magnets that have high operating temperatures.
Research
Research in the Gilliard Laboratory is multidisciplinary and combines various aspects of organic, inorganic, main-group, and materials chemistry. We develop novel synthetic methods to access molecules that are important for solving problems related to environmental sustainability, energy conversion, and the discovery of next-generation electronics.
