D. Sabirov works in the fields of physical organic and theoretical chemistry. He is recognized for systematic work in the chemistry of fullerenes and polycyclic hydrocarbons, as well as the development of a mathematical apparatus for describing the structural complexity of molecular ensembles. D. Sabirov made a decisive contribution to the theory of polarizability of fullerene compounds. He is the author of the formula for calculating mean polarizability of fullerene adducts, expression for assessing the dielectric screening of a guest in "guest-host" complexes, and equation for information entropy of molecular ensemble. The results of his work find applications in chemical materials science, astrochemistry, and digital chemistry.
