EPR and nanoscale chemistry
Chemists have excelled at making small molecules and understanding their properties. However, most processes in nature and many industrial reactions include large ordered molecular assemblies, eg protein aggregates, cell membranes, catalyst surfaces etc. We are interested in understanding the factors which determine the structure and properties of such nanometre-scale molecular aggregates. We are often using free radicals and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) to characterise the properties and reactivity of nanostructures. We are also interested in the mechanistic chemistry of free radicals in other systems.
