Research Interests 
Our major objectives is based on design and synthesis of various porphyrinoids such as: Porphyrins and its isomers, including search for new isomers, Expanded porphyrins, Contracted porphyrins, Non-aromatic porphyrinoids (e. g. calixpyrrole), BODIPYs (in particular π-extended types) having potential application as photosensitizers for photodynamic treatment of cancer, near infra-red (NIR) dyes as biomarker, molecule/anion sensing, catalysis and nonlinear optical materials.  

Another objective of our group is focused on the synthesis of energetic materials.
