He is an Anwennen as den Nahbau vun photosynthetisch aktiver Reakschonszentren[1] mit Övergangsmetall-Komplexen un Porphyrinen interesseert un an de Topologie vun molekularer Maschinen un Motoren[2]. 1983 hett he en vun de eersten Synthesen vun en Catenans herutbrocht[3][4][5][6] un hüm gelung up en ähnlich Aart un Wies de Synthese vun en molekularen Knütt.[7]
