Research interest
Research interests of my group lie mainly in the area of complexing properties
of aminophosphonic and phosphinic acids and their derivatives. We published
several papers dealing with synthesis, structure and complexing properties
of aminoalkylphosphonic acids and their dipeptides.
At present, in frame of COST D18 action, our effort is devoted to the synthesis
the azacycles containing methylphosphinic pendant moieties and investigation of their
complexing properties with common transition metals and with lanthanoids.
Teaching
