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.
