Research...
In our group, we study the behavior of nanoscopic materials confined in microscopic environments; we employ benign stimuli to investigate our theories and hypotheses. Our research primary goals are design and synthesis of molecularly chiral compounds, nanocavities and molecular mechanics tools...These precursors are the bases to understand the intra-actions and the interactions of nanoparticles once placed in their environments of study. We also employ light (photochemistry) to investigate novel pathways for increasing enantiomeric excess and ameliorating the efficiency of photon induced chirality transfer reactions in solution-phase. In one of our recent research project, we took inspirations from Mother Nature; in this fantastic study, atropisomeric acrylanilides were used in photochemical reaction in solution to ameliorate photon induced chiral transfer enantioselectivities, as Mother Nature uses enzymatic pathways to synthesize enantiomerically pure chiral amino acids from the DNA (RNA) molecule...
