Biography

Professor Jonathan Nitschke specializes in the design of hollow supramolecular capsules, known as 'cages', which are used to transport cargo molecules safely for drug therapies and to minimize environmental impacts in petroleum refining. His research aims to discover and develop new ways for simple building blocks to induce self-assembly into complex, functional structures. His investigations currently focus on the self-assembly of imine bonds and metal-ion templates, emphasizing the importance of covalent and coordinative linkages in arranging structures in well-defined manners. Nitschke's ongoing projects explore container molecules that self-assemble to trap guest molecules and functional materials that create metal-containing conjugated polymers through self-assembly. His lab is dedicated to creating innovative solutions in chemistry through extensive research and collaborative efforts.
