RESEARCH

We are a new group in the school of chemistry at IISER Thiruvananthapuram. Our research is focused broadly on the supramolecular assembly to create complex structures from simple building blocks and exploring their unique properties for convergence with materials science. We are also interested to explore new switchable architectures for controlling dynamic functions. In our research, we apply methods from synthetic organic chemistry to create our building blocks and use different non-covalent interactions and dynamic covalent chemistry to decorate the suitable functional groups in the desired position. Our research includes;

• Metallo-Supramolecular Chemistry

• Molecular switches and machines

• Rotaxanes and Catenanes

• Host-guest Chemistry

• Out-of-equilibrium self-assembly

• Stimuli-responsive dynamic materials
