Supramolecular chemistry group
Activities
We design and synthesize photochromic compounds and fluorescent probes for their application in optical nanoscopy (super-resolution fluorescence microscopy), optical logical keys and molecular sensors. In particular we devise strategies for their conjugation to biomolecules and supramolecular structures.
