Research & Creative Interests

Supramolecular Chemistry, Self-Assembly, Templates in Chemistry, Molecular Recognition

Our current research attempts are the preparation of host molecules with a cavity and their ability of encapsulation and release of smaller guests could be controlled by an external input toward design of controllable chemical delivery agents, devices and sensors. By using a combination of hydrogen bonding, aromatic stacking, and coordination, etc., we expect to produce stable host-guest complexes with predictable chemical properties.

It is essential in supramolecular chemistry to have a deep understanding upon molecular recognition, to study the traficking of substrates, then to study the effects of encapsulation toward chemical reactivity and selectivity.
