PriOSS – Prinzipien oberflächengestützter Synthesestrategien, LOEWE Schwerpunkt

Organic nanostructures can be utilized in electronics devices such as microchips or in next-generation quantum computers. The properties of such functional molecular materials can be controlled by their dimensions and precise atomic structure. Lately, it was discovered that these functional nanostructures can be built very successfully on surfaces, a strategy denoted as “on-surface synthesis”. However, in contrast to the well-established solution-based synthesis, which has been applied for over 200 years, on-surface synthesis is still in its infancy. The objective of the LOEWE focus group PriOSS is to develop fundamental strategies of on-surface synthesis and to provide a toolset for this new method.
