Dynamics of CT-PhotoPCET with Metal Complexes (A01)

Subject Area Inorganic Molecular Chemistry - Synthesis and Characterisation
Theoretical Chemistry: Electronic Structure, Dynamics, Simulation
Term since 2024
Project identifier Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 510228793
 

Project Description

Project A01 will study photoinduced PCET in molecular models to develop guidelines for controlling the life-times of charge-separated diradical states. The strategies are based on intersystem crossing (heavy-atom effects) and H-tunneling (distance dependence) probabilities, as well as the structural dynamics. The synthetic approaches will be supported by ultrafast pump-probe spectroscopy, and high-level electronic structure computations. A01 collaborates with A02/A04 (theory), A02 (pump-probe spectroscopy), B02 (EPR spectroscopy), and C01 (sum frequency generation spectroscopy).
