Metal Organic Framework (MOF) and Coordination Polymer (CP) chemistry (synthesis, characterization and applications); Soft crystalline materials; Supramolecular architectures.

Research summary

Dr. Plakatouras’ research interests include synthesis, spectroscopic and structural characterization of coordination polymers in general:
(i) Reticular design of new MOFs and CPs
(ii) Topological evaluation of molecular materials and exploitation of their topological characteristics to design and produce new applicable materials.
(iii) Supramolecular chemistry directed to soft crystalline materials.
(iv) Post synthetic modifications and transformations in MOF and CP chemistry.
