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.

Prof. Dr. Michael Gottfried from the University of Marburg has received an ERC Synergy Grant from the European Research Council (ERC) together with Prof. Dr. Michael Mastalerz from the University of Heidelberg and Prof. Dr. Holger Bettinger from the University of Tübingen. With their project "Tackling the Cyclacene Challenge" (TACY), the three researchers are pursuing the goal of generating a special class of ring-shaped carbon compounds - the cyclacenes - for the first time. The European Research Council is funding the project with around 11 million euros. Of this, around 4.5 million euros is earmarked for the research work at Philipps-Universität Marburg.

04/2022 "A deep look into the molecule"

A CO-functionalized tip used for low-temperature atomic force microscopy twisting along the longitudinal axis of the sensor above an isochrysene molecle on a surface.
Graphic: Miriam Ebeling and Daniel Ebeling
Scientists from the LOEWE research-initiative PriOSS (Principles of On-Surface Synthesis) and the University of Newcastle (UON) in Australia have jointly developed a new measurement method to visualize the chemical structure of single molecules. A low-temperature atomic force microscope (AFM) was used for the measurements, which scans the sample with an extremely sharp tip that is functionalized with a single CO molecule. The excitation of a torsional eigenmode of the tuning fork sensor (twisting along the longitudinal axis) results in a nearly lateral vibration of the CO tip with an amplitude of only a few picometers, which perfectly suited for performing lateral force microscopy (LFM) with single bond resolution.

Top researcher at the Institute of Organic Chemistry at the University of Giessen awarded the most important European funding prize - 2.5 million euros for the next five years

Prof. Dr. Peter R. Schreiner Photo: Katrina Friese
Light at the end of the tunnel: A "tunnel" plays a central role in the research work of chemist Prof. Dr. Peter R. Schreiner. The internationally renowned and multi-award-winning top researcher, who is considered one of the pioneers of organocatalysis, has discovered the mechanism of tunneling control of reactions with his team at the Institute of Organic Chemistry at Justus Liebig University Giessen (JLU) and demonstrated its prevalence. In addition to thermodynamic and kinetic control, he was thus able to scientifically establish a third driving force of chemical reactions: "Tunneling" is important both for understanding and designing chemical reactions. To continue and expand his groundbreaking research on "tunneling" as a driving force for chemical reactions, Prof. Schreiner receives an ERC Advanced Grant. The European Union will fund his project "Cold Organic Chemistry" (COLDOC) with 2.5 million euros over the next five years.

PriOSS Expertise

Within PriOSS we are using and further developing a powerful microscopy technique allowing us to image every single bond of an organic molecule. This is done at very low temperatures close to absolute zero, in order freeze any unwanted motion while imaging. Not only the molecular structure is visualized but even intricate properties like molecular chirality. In between those photographic snapshots the surface is heated, and the thermal energy induces chemical reactions between the molecules, resembling the 2D analogy to traditional in-liquid synthesis.  This is termed 2D chemistry and obeys completely different reaction laws, eventually leading to new synthesis strategies. Additionally, we have employed this atomic force microscope to induce reactions between several surface molecules even at cryogenic temperatures by applying voltage pulses. This enables us to create new molecular structures, so far impossible to synthesize.

Molecule by molecule creation of covalent organic nanoarchitectures by scanning probe manipulation.
For this we are in very close contact to our partners from chemistry, who are synthesizing the molecular precursors (starting molecules) and also advise us with their expert knowledge in chemical synthesis. We also interact strongly with theory partners, who can simulate the molecular configurations of the molecules on the surface, making possible the clear identification of the structures. Furthermore, the simulations can reveal the exact energetics of the reaction pathways, yielding a complete picture of the on-surface reactions.

In Ebsdorfergrund - just under a 30-minute drive from Giessen - lies Rauischholzhausen Castle, probably the most beautiful estate at JLU. Congresses, workshops, seminars and also festivals are held here on a regular basis. The estate, built at the end of the 19th century, looks like a fairy-tale castle, nestled in a spacious park in the style of English landscape gardens.
