Welcome to the Hayton group in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Our research focuses on the synthesis and characterization of transition metal, lanthanide, and actinide complexes. In each of these areas we try to isolate unique complexes and understand their fundamental properties and bonding.  We are also interested in the many potential applications of these materials, including small molecule activation, catalysis, and nuclear fuel clean-up.
