I focused on the development of new synthetic chemical methods for the preparation of cyclic molecules to recognise environmentally important anions, and designed a series of bimetallic compounds that have strong antibacterial activity. These studies offer new pathways for the development of chemical sensors and antimicrobial drugs.
