Electronic dynamics of luminescent 3MET systems (C09*)

• Subject Area: Physical Chemistry of Molecules, Liquids and Interfaces, Biophysical Chemistry
• Term: from 2019 to 2022
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 142808194

This 3MET project studies 3MET complexes for their interaction with surfaces of various reactivity. It utilizes Mo2 complexes, multidecker lanthanide phthalocyanines, multi-metallic porphyrin complexes, and endohedral fullerenes. It exerts external control of the intramolecular cooperativity of 3MET complexes on surfaces by temperature or light in order to manipulate the electronic properties of substrate surfaces ranging from noble metals towards topological insulators and 2D graphene-like honey comb structures. Both approaches will significantly contribute to an in-depth understanding of intramolecular cooperativity effects for 3MET molecules on surfaces.
