My research is focused on utilizing principles of supramolecular chemistry to construct targeted organic functional materials. Employing strong, directional non-covalent interactions, we aim to design desired molecular arrangements and, in turn, control overall reaction pathways in solids. We have developed a template strategy that can facilitate carbon-carbon bond formation ([2+2] photodimerization) in a solvent-free environment. This solvent-free method has allowed the multistep organic synthesis in just one-pot, and development of new reactions in solid-state.
