研究领域

Organic Chemistry

Research activities are focused in the following areas: The conversion of plant biomass into organic molecules of interest as fuels and value-added products. The design and synthesis of topologically and theoretically interesting organic molecules, particularly bowl-shaped heterotriquinanes and heteroacepentalenes. Highly selective cation and anion sandwich complexation in cylindrophane hosts. The concise sythesis of medicinally important heterocycles, particularly extracyclic indole alkaloids. The application of non-covalent design principles, particularly hydrogen bonding, to the control of molecular association. The computational investigation of non-covalent interactions and their application to novel receptor design.
