Research Interests |
Our research interests are focused on the synthesis, chemistry, properties, and applications of dendritic macromolecules and structurally related dendronized polymers. The work involves structural design, organic and organometallic syntheses, and the use of various physical and spectroscopic techniques to characterize and investigate the properties of these molecules.
We are also interested in the development of new synthetic methodologies towards interesting organic structural motifs for use in material and catalysis applications. |
