Rational Molecular Design

Stanford scientists are designing and creating innovative molecular structures for the anticipated novel parcels, and understanding the structure- property connections to allow rational molecular design of accoutrements. Using molecular principles of chemistry, they've created complex macromolecular infrastructures similar as cyclic polymers and shape- patient graduation polymers, conjugated π- systems containing antiaromaticity, dynamic polymer networks, smart accoutrements seeing and responding to colorful stimulants, and organic/ inorganic perovskites for energy and electronic operations.
