Using coordination chemistry and self-assembly as toolbox, we aim to develop complex structures starting from relatively simple building blocks.
The research interests span from the beauty of creating new structures, to the combination of multiple functionalityies such as chirality with optical properties, and to develop stimuli responsive materials.
Structural Diversity and Host-Guest Chemistry
Structural Diversity and Host-Guest Chemistry
Proper ligand design and choice of the metal centers, allows to control the size and shape of new coordination-driven discrete supramolecules.
These tools are used to achieve confined space cavities that can interact with guest molecules.
Chirality Transfer and Chiroptical Properties
Chirality Transfer and Chiroptical Properties
Coordination complexes and their assembly can hexibit helical chirality. Chirality combined with optical properties from ligands or metals and confined cavities give unique outputs for molecular recognition processes.
Stimuli Responsive Systems
Stimuli Responsive Systems
Molecular switching, by the use of stimuli such light, pH changes or redox can be used to reversibly modulate the shape and properties of compoudns. This is combined with supramolecular systems and host-guest chemistry to develop new stimuli responsive materials.
