Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 433682494
Molecular photoswitches are versatile sensors and actuators for the development of intelligent matter. The project will focus on the development of molecular photoswitches that enable out-of-equilibrium light-induced supramolecular materials as well as adaptive supramolecular materials that can be stimulated with visible light. Furthermore, we will advance photo-responsive N-heterocyclic carbenes towards the development of adaptive solid-state systems. Finally, we will explore the tunable relaxation time of photoswitches using chemical signals, so that adaptive systems self-regulated by light and redox or acidity can be realized.
