In our group we synthesize new organic molecules as well as coordination complexes using both conventional and mechanochemical synthetic protocols and subsequently we employ non-covalent interactions (such as hydrogen- and halogen bonds) to assemble molecular building blocks into supramolecular architectures with precise dimensions, topologies, and motifs.
We are developing strategies that enable the formation of co-crystals of API’s using a variety of predesigned, inexpensive, and readily available small molecules.
