Davin G. Piercey's research focuses on synthesizing and characterizing high-nitrogen and energetic materials, including nitrogen-rich compounds, energetic salts, and fluorinated derivatives, often using crystallography to determine molecular structures. The group also explores related topics such as explosive hazard assessment, hypergolic (spontaneously igniting) propellant chemistry, and some applications of nitrogen-containing compounds in pharmacology. This work combines synthetic chemistry with computational and structural analysis to understand stability, reactivity, and potential applications of these compounds.
