Research Summary

Our laboratory is interested in developing general, facile yet selective synthetic strategies towards broad range of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Through these general synthetic methodologies, we aim to build previously unknown low dimensional and multidimensional organic materials that hold great potential for applications in organic electronics.
