Research Projects
Current Projects
Our ongoing research focuses on various areas, including:
- Photophysical processes in systems such as AIE-luminogens, BAI, tryptanthrin, and thioindigo derivatives
- Practical applications of these compounds, such as tryptanthrin, include their use as active materials in Redox Flow Batteries.
- Practical applications of these compounds, including donor-acceptor systems with anthraquinone, involve their use as dyes in Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs).
- Host-Guest interactions of cucurbiturils (CB7 and CB8) with fluorescent probes.
- PhotoCORMS (Controlled Photo-Released Organic Molecules, in collaboration with CICECO-UA).
- TTA-UC molecular systems.
- Aurophilic complexes involving Au(I) and coumarin.
- Synthesis of ligands to stabilize G-quadruplexes for inhibiting DNA telomerase in cancer cells.
- Conjugated organic polymers, including polyfluorene and ladder-type polymers.
- The chemistry of the molecules of color, including their use on 19th-century postage stamps.
- We are also deeply engaged in studying indirubin and isoindigo derivatives in the context of the molecules of color.
