Research
We explore new isolatable low-valent group 4 and rare-earth complexes and investigate their unusual electronic structures important for quantum information science (QIS). Developing a new class of stable low-valent molecular qubits ions could open pathways to a new class of metal-based molecular systems with useful electronic properties.

Non-covalent interactions (NCIs) are pervasive in various chemical fields and are especially important in assessing structure-function relationships. We are interested in employing NCIs in bimetallic systems to better understand fundamental lanthanide and actinide electronic structure including mixed-valent f element systems and metal-metal bonding.
