Research
We are exploring chemistry under extreme conditions of high pressure in GPa range (1 GPa = 10,000 bar) in combination with extreme chemical reactivity displayed by fluorine chemistry.

Noble-Gas Chemistry
We explore XeF2 and KrF2 coordination complexes and Lewis acid-base adducts.

Fluorinated Materials
We work on fluorinated materials for batteries.
