研究领域

Research interests include synthesis, stereochemistry, molecular recognition and photochemistry, with an emphasis on (i) dipyrrole and tetrapyrrole synthetic analogs of bilirubin, the yellow pigment of jaundice; (ii) organic conformational analysis from circular dichroism and NMR spectroscopy; (iii) photobiology, molecular mechanisms of phototherapy for neonatal jaundice, bilirubin metabolism, pyrrole chemistry and photochemistry, photooxidation and singlet oxygen; (iv) chiral molecular recognition; (v) chiroptical properties and electronic interaction of non-adjacent chromophores, long-range interactions; (vi) exciton interactions in organic and biological systems as detected by circular dichroism; and (vii) stereochemistry of cyclic ketones and the Octant Rule.
