Analytical chemistry is a branch of chemistry that focuses on the study of the composition of matter, and the methods used to examine chemical compositions. Analytical chemists use a variety of techniques and methods to identify and quantify the components of a sample, often down to trace levels. These methods can range from simple qualitative tests to highly sophisticated instrumental methods giv

Iron Carbene SensitizersCurrently, Iron Carbene Sensitizers are a big part of research in our group, where the electronic properties of iron complexes are studied and adjusted. Using strongly σ-donating N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands, the aim is to alter the energy of electronic states in iron complexes, making them potential candidates as photosensitizers in solar cells. Because of abundanc

Our research is focused on understanding crystal growth on an atomic scale, and how control of this process can be used to design new materials not existing in nature. In particular we are interested in understanding the formation of novel nanostructures, and how the dynamics of the crystallization process lead to new and size-dependent properties. At the moment our focus is on semiconductor nanos
