Our research
We are a group of motivated scientists interested in combining supramolecular, organic/inorganic, and materials chemistry to synthesize functional systems exploring novel tubularly contorted aromatics, anion receptors, and polynuclear cluster systems. Our vision is firmly established in having a molecular level understanding of conjugation pathways and their connection with their optoelectronic properties, anion recognition sites to develop membranes for environmental remediation, and modulation of metal-metal bonds towards the activation of small substrates.
Students in the HS group will engage in synthetic organic/inorganic chemistry and develop familiarity with a range of spectroscopic, electrochemical, crystallographic, and magnetic techniques. While rooted in synthetic chemistry, research in the HS group will interface with multiple scientific areas.

Figure. Molecular crystal structures of (left) a tubularene, (middle) anion-hosted within a fluorocage, and (right) square planar Cu4 cluster. The Cu, S, C, N, O, F, and H atoms are colored orange, yellow, grey, blue, red, green, and white, respectively. These structures represent the three general research areas currently under investigation in the HSG.
