Davin Piercey Nitrogen Chemistry Research Group

Research Interests
Our group maintains a wide range of interests regarding fundamental and applied nitrogen chemistry including synthesis, characterization, and applications. Specific areas of interest include the structure / property relationship of high-nitrogen compounds, electrosynthesis of nitrogen-rich compounds, and applications of high-nitrogen compounds in pharmaceuticals.
