The aim of the group is to merge concepts from organometallic and supramolecular chemistry for the development of molecular materials that can be used as catalysts, molecular receptors and drug-delivery systems. The controlled assembly of organometallic building blocks having defined sizes, shapes and compositions are a useful tool for the generation of materials with tailored properties in opto-electronics, catalysis and molecular sensing. The team has developed an intense activity in the rational design of supramolecular organometallic-based systems for catalysis and sensing. They have been specially committed to understanding the non-covalent interactions that lead to the design of improved supramolecular catalysts and molecular receptors.
Specific lines of research:

  • Ad. Mat. for catalysis.
    • Development of advanced catalysts for the transformation of raw materials into valuable products.
    • Development of advanced multifunctional materials for energy storage and hydrogen production.
    • Development of supramolecular materials for the detection of hazardous materials and for the detoxification of chemical warfare agents CWAs.
    • Development of metallosupramolecular assemblies as drug-delivery vectors.
    • Development of luminescent materials with tailor-made optoelectronic properties

    Industrial Innovation and Technology Transfer

  • The group has been involved in industrial projects on the development of luminescent materials in connection with a regional funding program (AVI) where a series of organic/inorganic hybrid luminophores are being introduced into plastic polymers.
