Research summary

Amar H. Flood works in supramolecular chemistry, the study of how molecules recognize and assemble with one another through non-covalent interactions. The research includes designing ring-shaped molecules (such as the 'cyanostar' macrocycle) that bind specific ions, building molecular sensors for targets like phosphate, and creating fluorescent and light-emitting materials, including organic lasers and dye-based nanoparticles. The group also explores molecular machines such as rotaxanes and shuttles whose motion can be driven by electrochemical (redox) changes.
