Present Scientific Activities
The present activities concerns mainly three areas all involving strong international collaboration I) Preparation and Investigation on Cooridnation Compounds showing Temperature Induced Spincrossover ii) Solvato- and Chromotropism of Coordination Compounds and Lewis-acid and base indicators for non-aqueous solvents and solutions. iii) Investigations of the kinetics of redoxreactions concerning oxidative stress and related pathogenic and aging factors in close collaboration with biochemical and medical groups.
