Researchers have long recognized the promise of
functional organic polymers, but until now have not been successful in developing an efficient electron - transport conducting polymer to pair with the established hole - transporting polymers.
His other topics of research concern the field of supramolecular chemistry, crystal engineering and fabrication of hybrid
organic — inorganic
functional materials like coordination
polymers based on organometallic nodes or open metal —
organic frameworks with controllable size and morphology with potential applications in storage and separation of gases and small
organic molecules.
