Dr. Chivers, University of Calgary, studies the structures and properties of electron-rich inorganic compounds often typified by binary sulphur-nitrogen systems, notably the superconducting polymer (SN)x. He and co-workers have prepared a number of unique molecules and ions, and made X-ray crystallographic structural determinations, spectroscopic measurements (15N, NMR, IR/Raman, UV-visible) and examinations of their chemical and electrochemical behaviour.
