Ab initio calculations of electronic effects in multivalent interactions (C07)

Subject Area Theoretical Chemistry: Electronic Structure, Dynamics, Simulation
Organic Molecular Chemistry - Synthesis and Characterisation
Term from 2008 to 2019
Project identifier Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 32049920
 

Project Description

The aim of this project is the theoretical investigation of supra-molecular porphyrine stacks with multivalent and switchable linkers. The optical, electronic and magnetic properties of these stacks can be tuned by different metal ions within the porphyrines and/or by different linkers changing the distances between the porphyrines. These properties are determined with accurate electronic structure methods including solvent effects and the influence of finite temperatures.
