We are interested in the synthesis and study of materials with extended inorganic structures, largely focussing on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and hydrogen-bonded networks. Our research interests encompass many aspects of MOF chemistry, including post-synthetic modifications, mixed-metal and mixed-ligand MOFs, flexible structures and MOF nanoparticles and films.
