Congratulations to Patrik Neuhaus for the award of a Feodor Lynen Fellowship from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.

| Welcome!
Our Group does research in the areas of molecular materials
synthesis, supramolecular chemistry, molecular recognition, polymers
and dyes. Many of our projects are centred around the synthesis and
subsequent physical investigation of porphyrins, rotaxanes and
conjugated polymers. All work is directed towards the design and
creation of new molecular materials with useful optical, electronic
or biomedical properties. We believe that a better understanding of
the relationship between molecular structure, molecular function and
macroscopic properties will give us the ability to build functional
materials on the molecular scale.
