Department of Chemistry, Physics, and Atmospheric Sciences – CHEMISTRY
College of Science, Engineering, and Technology

 

Chemistry is the study of how matter behaves at its most basic level. The central science, chemistry, is involved in everything that we do. Its applications stretch across all areas of life, including medicine, engineering and agriculture.

Research Interests

Supramolecular, Macromolecular and Inorganic Chemistry: Research in the Hossain group involves supramolecular, macromolecular and inorganic chemistry, with an emphasis on the understanding non-covalent interactions between synthetic hosts and guest species. In particular, this group is interested in developing new biomimetic receptors and sensors for anions, intersecting with organic synthesis, analytical chemistry, and biology. Because of the multidisciplinary approach to research  in the laboratory, group members are exposed to a wide variety of synthetic and analytical techniques from chemical and biological disciplines. Specifically, projects in the group require the design and synthesis of organic molecules containing different binding sites. A variety of techniques including multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, UV-Vis, fluorescence spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, X-ray diffraction and molecular modeling studies are used to characterize binding interactions and investigate selectivity aspects between hosts and guests. The main goal of our work is to provide strategies for the design of highly selective sensing devices that will add a new dimension to the field of supramolecular chemistry.
