The Chiu group utilizes tools of organic and physical organic chemistry to synthesize and study new polymer and supramolecular systems with wide-ranging potential applications. Our current projects include:
developing switchable catalyst systems for copolymerization reactions to control copolymer microstructure
using external stimuli to modulate polymer dispersity
synthesizing organic macrocycles and coordination cages as components of chemical systems with emergent properties
