Enjoy our paper published in J. Am. Chem. Soc. on "Metal Ion and Guest-Mediated Spontaneous Resolution and Solvent-Induced Chiral Symmetry Breaking in Guanine-Based Metallosupramolecular Networks"
Published in Nature
We used scanning tunnelling microscopy to follow in real-time, as bonds form and break, molecule by molecule, the birth and growth of 2D dynamic covalent polymers on a solid support immersed in a reactive solution.
Sensing ammonia
We reveal the superior sensing capability of covalently modified graphene layers for ammonia detection
Polymorph detection
We report on the detection and stabilization of a previously unknown two-dimensional (2D) pseudopolymorph.

We demonstrate spatially resolved multicomponent covalent chemical patterning of single layer graphene using a facile and efficient method.
Diazonium Chemistry with a Twist
In this paper, published in Nanoscale, we demonstrate that the ascorbic acid mediated dediazoniation of aryldiazonium salts leads to self-limiting growth of monolayers with high grafting densities
In control of polymorphism...

In this paper, published in Angewandte Chemie, we reveal the possibility to induce or favor the formation of polymorphs, by confining molecules in nanoscale 2D boxes
And what if you would use an electric field to polymerize...
