Research group Andrew Kentaro Inge research group
Our research group is interested in the synthesis, structure determination and applications of crystalline materials.
Group description
Much of our attention has been focused on developing new nanoporous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for applications such as the removal and degradation of pollutants. One of our goals is to develop new stable MOFs by using more sustainable and inexpensive reagents and processes. For this we have turned to the use of abundant plant-based organic molecules, such as polyphenols and their derivatives.
We have competence in crystal structure determination using single crystal X-ray diffraction, powder diffraction and electron diffraction. We apply these techniques to determine crystal structures of MOFs and other crystalline materials such as metallodrugs.
