The research direction is anionic coordination chemistry and its application, with anionic chemistry as the core, to explore the relationship between "molecular design", "assembly structure" and "material properties", in order to achieve the prediction and accurate control of the macroscopic properties of synthetic or assembled materials through micro-regulation at the molecular level. Specific research interests include: design and synthesis of novel anionic ligands; Precise construction of supramolecular systems, including advanced self-assembly and preparation of supramolecular polymers; Design and preparation of novel multifunctional supramolecular adaptive materials.
