Research Interests:

Sodio Lab offers several international Master or PhD student positions dedicated to the study of bio-inspired and metallo-supramolecular chemistry.

1. Design and synthesis of Bio-mimic and bio-inspired coordination complexes.
2. Design nano-scale metallo-supramolecular and molecular recognitions.
3. Catalytic and structural study of organometallics compounds.

Sodio Lab tries to examine the role of metals in biology, including the synthesis and study of bio-inspired metal complexes (also model complexes) to understand the biological reaction from a chemical point of view. Those achievements could apply in medicine and catalyst design. The study of inorganic models or mimics could imitate the behavior of metalloproteins. Sodio lab also tries to use a range of well-studied structural and functional building blocks to build up larger functional architectures. Biological systems are often the inspiration for supramolecular research.
