Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse

As anticipated, the combination of custom synthetic ability and physico-chemical characterization provided a powerful approach to characterize functionalized diamond-like molecules. Computational chemistry methods were used to compute the electronic and structural properties and to compare them to the synthetic and physico-chemical results. We have had high ambitions and they were even exceeded with the extraordinary number and quality of results we received. This truly moves diamondoid chemistry huge steps forward and nicely combines fundamental science with potential applications of these novel materials in organic electronics.
