Laboratory of Supramolecular Structures and Materials is a joint research group affiliated with College of Chemistry and College of Materials Science and Engineering at Fuzhou University. It hosts a young, committed, energetic and innovative research team comprising 9 full-time faculty members with complementary expertise spanning supramolecular chemistry, structural chemistry, and materials science, together with around 60 postdoctoral researchers, PhD candidates and master’s students.
Centered on noncovalent interactions, dynamic covalent bonds and molecular self-assembly, supramolecular chemistry has evolved into supramolecular science through interdisciplinary fusion with materials science, biology and other disciplines, standing as a fountainhead of emerging concepts and cutting-edge technologies for the 21st century. Capitalizing on the latest advances in this field and our accumulated research accomplishments, our group pursues translational supramolecular chemistry, with core research thrusts: 1) Supramolecular materials for X-ray detection; 2) Supramolecular interlayer materials for organic photovoltaics; 3) Reprocessable dynamic covalent thermosets.
