Synthesis

ASU students synthesize new organic and inorganic and organometallic structures for catalysis, organic/bioinorganic complexes inspired by nature, hybrid molecular/solid state materials for energy conversion, new layered 2-dimensional materials, new semiconductor materials based on designer molecular precursors, and complex self-assembled nanostructures based on DNA molecular origami, and novel DNA/protein complexes.
