Our research group focuses on the designed assembly of molecular materials glued by dynamic coordination bonds eg. Coordination Cages and Coordination Polymers (CPs). We employ chemical diversity of metals and ligands to manipulate the molecular assembling process and dynamic properties of these materials. Particularly we are interested in phase transition and local structural dynamics in these materials to develop novel chemically tunable hybrid glasses and liquids for energy and environmental applications.
