We are interested in questions pertaining to the development of catalytic reactions, their application to the synthesis of complex substances with biological activity, questions of energy transfer, and the synthesis and properties of hybrids of organometallic compounds with biomolecules. Properties and function of building blocks are investigated with up-to-date physical methods.
