Overview
Our group uses knowledge in syntheticc chemistry to molecularly design and test so-termednetworked molecules. These are a subset of multifunctional small-molecular-weight compoundsthat address the notions of chemical as well asbiological networks. In particular, we employ‘networked molecules’ to rationally build up well-organized molecular networks and successfully use themas electrocatalyst materials for variousapplications, incl. renewable energy and‘ligandless’ catalysis;‚ disrupt and/or rewire biological networkswith a goal of inducing new intracellularinteractions and observing synergisticeffects.Such entities in their simplest form are heterobivalent constructs, however, we are lookingto install additional moieties that would helpextend their multifold performance.
