Overview
We are a group of computational physical organic chemists at the University of Houston. Using a variety of quantum chemical tools, we explain and predict chemical reactivity and molecular properties, often in close collaboration with experimental groups around the world.
We are sometimes organic chemists, sometimes photochemists, and other times supramolecular chemists. Right now, topics that catch our interest include molecular photoswtiches, photochemical reactions and mechanisms, carbon-rich polycyclic (anti)aromatic hydrocarbons,self-assembling organic frameworks, and developing new reactions guided by the concepts of ground and excited-state aromaticity and antiaromaticity.
