Welcome to Organic Chemistry & Materials lab
Mothika Research Group

Our primary focus is to develop functional organic molecules and study material properties. We aim at the applications of chemical sensing, molecular switching and optoelectronics. The research flows through multi-step organic synthesis and extensive analytical characterization. The current research themes includes heterohelicenes, stimuli (light and redox)-responsive organic materials, and porous organic materials.
