CRC 1459 - A01: Photoswitches for integration in adaptive nanosystems

Basic data for this project

Description

Molecular photoswitches are versatile sensors and actuators for the development of intelligent matter. The project will focus on the development of molecular photoswitches that enable out-of-equilibrium light-induced supramolecular materials as well as adaptive supramolecular materials that can be stimulated with visible light. Furthermore, we will advance photo-responsive N-heterocyclic carbenes towards the development of adaptive solid-state systems. Finally, we will explore the tunable relaxation time of photoswitches using chemical signals, so that adaptive systems self-regulated by light and redox or acidity can be realized.
