Strategies for Molecular Repair and Self-regulation in Light-driven Catalysis for Hydrogen Evolution (A01)

• Subject Area: Inorganic Molecular Chemistry - Synthesis and Characterisation ; Physical Chemistry of Molecules, Liquids and Interfaces, Biophysical Chemistry
• Term: since 2018
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 364549901

A01 is dedicated to mechanistic studies on molecular dyads and triads for light-driven catalysis. The project will investigate how concepts for active repair of molecular dyads can be controlled by molecular design and how matrix integration can be utilized to prevent major degradation paths. Novel non-noble metal PS-CAT dyads will be explored, and the transfer of concepts for degradation prevention and molecular repair, from noble-metal model systems to non-noble metal dyads and triads will be studied.
