Research topics:

Synthesis and characterization of novel π-extended antiaromatics

A large part of our research efforts is directed toward synthesizing and characterizing unusual π-systems that contain antiaromatic subunits. Besides the fundamental interest in understanding the structure, bonding, and reactivity of such polycyclic conjugated, π-extended antiaromatics could be a useful compound class in molecular electronics applications.

Molecular switches

Molecular switches are used as control elements in fields as diverse as catalysis, pharmacology, and molecular electronics. Our aim is to develop novel switchable molecules and materials that can be used to achieve high-level control in such applications.
