Our ongoing research covers a wide range of topics including:
- Photophysical processes in systems such as AIE luminogens (DPBF derivatives)
- Bay Annulated Indigo (BAI) for use in solar light concentrators.
- Practical applications of compounds like tryptanthrin and indigocarmine derivatives as active materials for redox flow batteries.
- Dye-sensitised solar cells (DSSCs): Applications of donor-acceptor systems, including anthraquinone-based dyes.
- Host-guest interactions using cucurbiturils (CB7 and CB8), cyclodextrin polymers and fluorescent probes.
- Synthesis of ligands to stabilise G-quadruplexes to inhibit telomerase activity in cancer cells.
- Photophysical studies of conjugated organic polymers, such as polyfluorene and ladder-type polymers.
- The chemistry of dye molecules, including their historical use in 19th century stamps.
- Shikonin, indirubin, isoindigo and synthetic thioindigo derivatives studied in the context of dye molecules.
- Rational design and synthesis of organic Molecules for Singlet Fission
