Research at Department of Chemistry UCPH

Designing, synthesizing and modelling metal complexes for single-molecule magnetism, metal templated synthesis, and small-molecule-activation catalysis.

The interface between synthetic chemistry, biology and biophysics. We focus on understanding biological and chemical phenomena at the nano-scale and explore the application of this knowledge to biomedicine. 

Organic molecules are designed and synthesized in order to obtain or screen for specific properties and to elucidate intermolecular interactions and reactivity in both solution and gas phase.

S molecular understanding of biological systems, among these protein structure determination, interactions of metal ions with biomolecules, and modeling of complex biological systems.

Nano particle catalysis for development of sustainable energy, studies of molecular self assembling in artificial and natural systems, molecular electronics, fluorescent molecules and materials and imaging techniques.

Fundamental experimental and theoretical research in gas-phase chemistry, the chemistry at interfaces, and condensed phase, often inspired by environmental or atmospheric chemistry issues and protein folding.
