That Ragogna Group's primary focus is to explore the undiscovered chemistry landscape of the p-block elements, primarily from groups 15 and 16 of the periodic table. Main group elements play prominent roles in electronic materials, pharmaceuticals and new plastics and therefore, the benefits for the construction of new main group element compounds are two fold: (a) an increased understanding of the fundamentals of structure, bonding and reactivity; and (b) this knowledge can be used to assess potential applications for value-added products.***To make the above initiatives possible, the Ragogna Group trains students at all levels (undergraduate, MSc., PhD. and PDF) in the hope of inspiring new minds for the thoughtful pursuit of new directions in the chemical sciences. During the their time in the Group they will master laboratory and core competencies that are required by industry and government partners alike. Ultimately the trained HQP will represent the next generation of Canadian innovators.****Our proposal is a broad and imaginative one, bringing together ideas that push the frontiers of p-block chemistry, while working to bridge other chemical disciplines such as transition metal chemistry as well as polymer and surface science. Taken together, one can assemble a powerful "toolbox" for the construction of new bonding modalities, unprecedented ceramics and new polymers with functionalities that are new or superior to those already in existence.**

Ragogna Group 的主要重点是探索 p 区元素（主要来自元素周期表第 15 族和第 16 族）未被发现的化学景观。 主族元素在电子材料、医药和新型塑料中发挥着重要作用，因此，构建新型主族元素化合物的好处有两个：（a）增强对结构、键合和反应性基础知识的理解； (b) 这些知识可用于评估增值产品的潜在应用。***为了使上述举措成为可能，Ragogna 集团对各个级别的学生（本科生、硕士、博士和 PDF）进行培训，希望激发新思维，深思熟虑地追求化学科学的新方向。 在集团任职期间，他们将掌握行业和政府合作伙伴所需的实验室和核心能力。 最终，训练有素的 HQP 将代表下一代加拿大创新者。****我们的提案是一项广泛而富有想象力的提案，汇集了推动 p 嵌段化学前沿的想法，同时努力弥合其他化学学科，例如过渡金属化学以及聚合物和表面科学。 总而言之，人们可以组装一个强大的“工具箱”，用于构建新的粘合方式、前所未有的陶瓷和具有新功能或优于现有功能的新聚合物。 **
