Structure-Property Relationships of Functional Copolymers on DNA Nanosheets (B01)

• Subject Area: Preparatory and Physical Chemistry of Polymers ; Biological and Biomimetic Chemistry
• Term: from 2018 to 2022
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 364549901

DNA origamis will be used for the precise spatial positioning of functional moieties such as molecular compounds (e.g. dyes, photosensitizers, catalysts and electron relays) as well as functional copolymers. We will elucidate structure-property relationships in these assemblies and study energy/electron transfer processes. Precise assembly of two molecular entities on the surface, assembly of molecular moieties next to copolymers, two functional copolymers, which are assembled in close proximity as well as the surface-routing of single functional moieties is developed.
