WELCOME TO THE RESEARCH GROUP OF
LABORATORY OF BIOINORGANIC CHEMISTRY
KU Leuven, Belgium
We are located at the heart of Belgium, in one of the oldest European universities in the beautiful city of Leuven.
Our interdisciplinary research is at the interface of inorganic chemistry, biochemistry, materials science and catalysis.
We exploit metal cluster based complexes and materials such as polyoxometalates (POMs) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for biologically inspired reactivity with biomolecules and model systems. We also create new hybrid structures based on polyoxometalates using principles of supramolecular chemistry and biomolecular recognition.
OUR RESEARCH
There are several major lines of research pursued in our group. We design polyoxometalate complexes (POMs) as catalysts for biologically inspired reactions and as building blocks for novel hybrid structures. Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are also employed within the group to explore their potential as nanozymes.
