Christine M. Thomas's research focuses on synthesizing and studying metal-containing compounds (organometallic and inorganic complexes), particularly those built around cobalt, iron, manganese, zirconium, and hafnium, often paired together in 'heterobimetallic' arrangements. Her group investigates how these metal complexes activate small molecules like nitrogen, hydrogen, and silanes, and how they can be used as catalysts for reactions such as hydrogenation and hydroboration, which are relevant to more efficient chemical synthesis methods.
