Challenges in the development of organic and hybrid molecular systems

Abstract

The rapid development of organic chemistry and catalysis has provided outstanding chemical tools to build complex molecular architectures that were never possible before. In spite of amazing progress in studying individual molecules and reactions, practical applications are limited due to the high cost of newly developed technologies and the difficulty in understanding the processes at the molecular level. Herein, we summarize our first steps and experiences carrying out an ongoing project on organic and hybrid molecular systems that highlights new fascinating opportunities and identifies future challenges.
