I design and synthesize molecules, then study how their structures influence reactivity and photophysical properties. My research sits at the intersection of organic synthesis, coordination chemistry, molecular design, and structural analysis.
Synthetic & Coordination Chemist
Research themes
Platinum complexes and cyclometalation
My published work examines how ligand motion and binding modes influence ring formation, reactivity, and emission in cyclometalated platinum complexes.
Macrocycles and supramolecular chemistry
I am interested in how cyclic frameworks are assembled and how their internal space and three-dimensional shape affect behaviour. Molecular self-assembly is a related interest.
Structure and photophysics
By comparing molecular structures with absorption and emission data, I investigate how conjugation, metal-ligand bonding, planarity, and conformation influence optical properties.
Cyclometalated platinum complexes: five- and six-membered ring formation
The figure summarizes how hindered rotation and two ligand-binding modes enable the formation of five- and six-membered metallacycles.
Methods
- Organic and coordination synthesis
- NMR spectroscopy
- UV-vis spectroscopy
- Photoluminescence spectroscopy
- Single-crystal X-ray diffraction
- Molecular structure analysis
- Collaboration in computational chemistry
I combine complementary measurements rather than relying on a single result. This page is limited to published, verifiable research and does not disclose ongoing or unpublished findings.
