Humphrey

Humphrey Group

Our research uses synthesis, spectroscopy, electrochemistry, and computational chemistry to generate new molecular materials with unusual optical properties.

About

The aim of our research is the preparation of new types of potentially useful molecular materials. Understanding how chemical structure can control molecular properties is the key step, and this necessitates coupling chemical synthesis to a range of physical properties studies.

Research in the group involves organometallic, organic, coordination complex and polymer synthesis, spectroscopy, various electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical techniques, molecular modelling, electron microscopy and X-ray structural studies, and a wide range of nonlinear optical studies using high-power lasers.

Projects

The Humphrey Group synthesizes organic molecules, organometallic and coordination complexes, dendrimers, oligomers, polymers, clusters, and their hybrids with various nanomaterials (nanoparticles, nanocarbons,etc.) with the goal of developing new molecular materials that can change the properties of incident light.
