The goal of this project is to design, synthesize, and test new organic materials for charge storage applications and spiroconjugated polymers as novel luminescent materials. The project will be carried out in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Bonn, Germany.The ability of long-known organic molecules with reversible redox behaviour to act as electrode materials will ...

"Light-driven molecular rotary motors derived from chiral overcrowded alkenes represent a central class of compounds for which photochemical rearrangements play a crucial role in their function. The mode of action of these motors is based on the periodic repetition of photo-isomerization and thermal relaxation steps, which lead to a uni-directional rotation of one part of the molecule (rotor) with ...
