Scientific interests

The general research goal is the study of the relationships between the energetics, structure and reactivity of molecules.

The main tools include several calorimetric techniques (combustion calorimetry, reaction-solution calorimetry, Calvet microcalorimetry), vapour-pressure against temperature measurements (ebbuliometry, Knudsen effusion), and computational chemistry methods.

Current specific interests in collaboration with different groups are:

Systematics of bond dissociation enthalpies. Trends in covalent, ionic, and hydrogen bond dissociation enthalpies in a variety of organic, inorganic and organometallic species are investigated using experimental and computational chemistry methods.

Crystallization, intermolecular potentials and polymorphism in solids. Measurements of enthalpies of sublimation and solution, DSC, TG, crystallization from solution, and molecular dynamics simulations studies are used to probe intermolecular potentials and polymorphism in organic and organometallic solids

Computational Chemistry Methods. We consistently apply ab initio theory to provide structures, molecular parameters, and bond energies for use in the analysis and interpretation of our experimental results.

Biomaterials. Energetic studies of apatites, and polygicolides using calorimetric methods and molecular dynamics simmulations.
