Research Interests

Lah's group is interested in understanding inorganic-organic hybrid materials based on their structural and topological characteristics and is involved in the development of functional porous materials by design for their application in hydrogen and methane storage, CO2 capture, catalysis, and delivery.
* Research Summary1. Crystal Engineering- Design of coordination networks using a node and linker approach- Design of coordination networks based on net topology- Design of coordination networks using a supramolecular building block approach- Postsynthetic modification of metal-organic frameworks
2. Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs)- MOF design based on metal-organic macrocycles and metal-organic polyhedra as supramolecular building blocks- Carbon dioxide capture and separation using MOFs- Hydrogen and methane storage using MOFs- Capture and catalytic removal of harmful industrial materials using MOFs
3. Supramolecular coordination chemistry: self-assembly of nano-sized metal-organic clusters- Syntheses of metal-organic macrocycles using multidentate ditopic linker ligands: the control of the stereochemistry, the nuclearity and size of the metallamacrocycles- Syntheses of metal-organic polyhedra using a face- or edge-directed corner linkage strategy
