Department of chemosensors

Head: Professor V.A.Bren

Department of chemosensors is based on the Laboratory of reactivity of organic compounds founded in 1977. From the beginning of its activity till now it is guided by professor, Doctor of science (chemistry) Vladimir A. Bren.

Main scientific trends:

• Design of novel effective and selective chromogenic, fluorogenic and photoswitchable chemosensors.
• Synthesis and investigation of tautomeric aromatic and heterocyclic systems containing aminovinylketone(thione) fragments.
• Investigation of photoinduced acylotropic rearrangements of acylated ketoenamines of benzo[b]annelated five-membered heterocycles.
• Synthesis and investigation of photochromic fulgides, dihetarylethenes, norbornadienes etc.
