Welcome to the Rubin group! We are working on novel organic molecules and nanoscale assemblies at the forefront of materials chemistry and biology: Fullerenes (C60, C70) Molecular surgery to form endohedral complexes Nanoscale assembly of fullerenes for second generation photovoltaic systems (solar cells) Synthetic methods to develop biologically active molecules π-Conjugated radicals for ferro- and ferrimagnets Tetrathiafulvalenes for three-dimensional organic metals or superconductors
