Sodio Lab offers several international Master or PhD student positions dedicated to the study of bio-inspired and metallo-supramolecular chemistry.
Sodio lab‘s research interests focus on the synthesis of tradition metal coordination complexes for using in bioinorganic and supramolecular chemistry study. Our research topic can be divided into three broad themes: (1) the synthesis of bio-inspired copper(I)-NO2 complexes containing poly-nitrogen and phosphine ligands, (2) the synthesis and structural study of copper(I) clusters as a copper transfer protein modeling compound, (3) the rational synthesis and structural study of iron–sulfur core {Cp2Fe2(m-SEt)2} complexes.
