CRC 1459 A01 - New photoswitches for integration in adaptive nanosystems
Basic data for this project
Type of project: Subproject in DFG-joint project hosted at University of Münster
Duration at the University of Münster: 01/01/2021 - 31/12/2024 | 1st Funding period
Description
Molecular photoswitches are versatile sensors and actuators for the development of intelligent matter. In this project we will design and prepare azo and spiropyran photoswitches as building blocks for the assembly of adaptive nanosystems. The project combines our expertise in the development of innovative photoswitches and surface ligands based on N-heterocyclic carbenes. These photoswitches will be immobilized on nanoparticles and patterned on surfaces using soft lithography. Furthermore, the photoswitches developed in this project will be integrated in a range of adaptive molecular systems, soft materials and solid-state nanosystems explored in the CRC.
