Current research in the field of Main Group chemistry provides substantial insight into the way molecules are held together (chemical structure and bonding). This greatly assists in the assessment of such compounds as useable materials. Although investigations of this type are primarily an academic study, many of the results have translated into substantial economic benefit. Main group elements are playing increasingly prominent roles in electronic materials, pharmaceuticals and new polymers. The benefits for the construction of new main group element compounds are two fold: (a) an increased understanding of the fundamentals of structure, bonding and reactivity; and (b) this knowledge can be used to assess potential applications for value-added products. In this context, the isolation of new compounds that contain charged main group centres, or main group centres in unconventional bonding arrangements are desirable because of their high reactivity. In this context, our group has, over the last two years, initiated a research program that centres on investigating the fundamental chemistry of a variety of main group elements, as well as developing the potential new applications of our findings. Within this common theme, three sub areas of discovery have emerged and we are defining new directions in (a) The identification and application of unusual chalcogen compounds (Chalcogen = S, Se, Te); (b) Synthesis and applications of ionophilic materials: Ionic liquids with unusual functionalities; and, (c) The synthesis of unprecedented neutral, strained, main group element bridged cobaltoarenophane complexes.

主族化学领域的当前研究提供了对分子结合方式（化学结构和键合）的实质性见解。 这极大地有助于评估这些化合物作为可用材料。虽然这类调查主要是学术研究，但许多成果已转化为可观的经济效益。 主族元素在电子材料、医药和新型高分子材料中发挥着越来越重要的作用。 构建新的主族元素化合物的好处有两个方面：（a）增加对结构、键合和反应性基本原理的理解;（B）这一知识可用于评估增值产品的潜在应用。 在这种情况下，分离含有带电主基中心或非常规键合排列的主基中心的新化合物是期望的，因为它们具有高反应性。在这种情况下，我们的小组，在过去的两年中，发起了一项研究计划，该计划的重点是调查各种主族元素的基础化学，以及开发我们的发现的潜在新应用。 在这个共同的主题，三个子领域的发现已经出现，我们正在定义新的方向（a）不寻常的硫族化合物（硫族= S，Se，Te）的识别和应用;（B）亲离子材料的合成和应用：离子液体与不寻常的功能;和（c）前所未有的中性，应变，主族元素桥连钴芳烷配合物的合成。
