About the Lab
Research in the Schaub Group targets the bottom-up synthesis of contorted graphitic nanocarbons with different dimensionalities. To this end we use modern synthetic organic methods to assemble macrocycles whose inherent strain can be leveraged for follow-up chemistry. At the heart of this research we strive to gain an understanding of molecular strain as a handle for chemical reactions with the aim to provide novel functional materials that can be accessed in an economically and ecologically efficient manner.
