Our research activities revolve around the use of intermolecular interactions in the molecular design of chemosensors, catalysts and pharmaceutically active compounds. Design, synthesis and determination of properties are the typical elements of all projects. We currently focus on the following challenges:
- Molecular Recognition
- Chemical Photocatalysis
- Substainable Chemistry
- Medical Chemistry
