compounds with novel structuresand properties are being

complexes;
2. multinuclear complexes that
respond to external stimuli; and3. functional complexes, inspiredby renewable energy conversion
in nature, which exhibit catalytic
activity toward the reduction ofCO2, O2, and N2.

compounds with new, hitherto
unknown properties, and theninvestigate the intricacies of theirstructures. Some of thecompounds we have createdinclude fragrant compounds andemerald crystals. The nature ofsuch compounds and theirmolecular structure are intimately
