Professor Vincent M. Rotello's research group in the Department of Chemistry at University of Massachusetts at Amherst.

 

Our research focuses on the area of supramolecular chemistry: the study and application of non-covalent interactions. These interactions include hydrogen bonding, aromatic stacking and other electrostatic attractions and repulsions. We are currently employing these concepts of molecular recognition to explore a wide range of important questions in areas of biology to materials chemistry.
