A review article entitled Molecular Triangles : A New Class of Macrocycles has been published in Accounts of Chemical Research by Postdoctoral Fellows Yu Wang and Huang Wu. Molecular triangles, designed and synthesized in the Group from 2014 onwards, have emerged as a new class of macrocycles. They have rigid structures with triangular geometries, which consist of three chiral

Yanli was a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Group from Oct 2005 to Aug 2010 – from Oct 2005 to Dec 2009 at UCLA, from Jan 2010 to Aug 2010 at NU. The Lee Soo Ying Professorship has been established to honor Emeritus Professor Lee Soo Ying who was the inaugural Dean of the College of

The Graduate Research Fellowship (GRF) is awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) in recognition of outstanding graduate students with noted potential to contribute to scientific innovation and teaching. This highly competitive fellowship supports students for five years and has a reputation of identifying future leaders in fields across STEM. David Pe joined our Group

Postdoctoral Researcher Wenqi (Vince) Liu′s review article on “Emergent Behavior in Nanoconfined Molecular Containers” has been published in Chem. Confined nanospaces, which provide discrete physical and chemical environments that are different from those in the bulk solution, play an indispensable role in the expression of biological functions in enzyme catalysis, immune response and cargo transport. While in biology, microenvironment

Postdoctoral Researcher Hongliang Chen‘s full paper entitled Single-molecule charge transport through positively charged electrostatic anchors has been selected to appear as a Supplementary Cover in Issue 7 of the Journal of the American Chemical Society. The paper reports an anchoring strategy for use in molecular electronics, called the electrostatic anchor, formed through efficient Coulombic interactions

Seifallah grew up in Bizerte, Tunisia, the Northmost City in Africa where he obtained his BSc and MSc Degrees in Organic Chemistry from the University of Carthage. Then, he moved to France to earn a PhD Degree in Molecular and Macromolecular Chemistry from INSA Rennes under the supervision of Dr Christine Paul-Roth and Professor Bassem
