Supermolecular Approaches

The Nitschke Group use chemical self-assembly to create complex structures with targeted functions from simple building blocks. Our work deals with the preparation of complex structures using a process we refer to as subcomponent self-assembly.

Sarah is the lead of a synthetic supramolecular group based in the School of Chemistry at the University of Birmingham. Their research focuses on the development of new responsive supramolecular systems.

Scott is the lead investigator of a group which spans organic, physical, and bioorganic chemistry. We combine molecules of synthetic and biological origins to examine the physical organic chemistry underpinning molecular interactions and the operation of molecular machines.
