Postdoc in Advanced Study; Surface Chemical Physics and Molecular Nanoscience (Technical University of Munich )

Postdoc Position - Institute for Advanced Study Focus Group: Surface Chemical Physics and Molecular Nanoscience 03.02.2023, Wissenschaftliches Personal Project: We aim to use the unique optical, photophysical, electrochemical, and structural properties of porphyrins in conjunction with novel linker structures to affect a transformational advance in the molecular design and control of interfacial nanoconstructs with tunable electronic, photonic, biomedical, and chemical functionalities. The prospects of porphyrin-based 1D, 2D, and 3D materials for device development will be assessed in collaboration with research partners from industry and academia. A key concept is to combine tetrapyrroles as ‘functional’ platforms with rigid hydrocarbon linkers (such as cubanes and bicyclopentane) as building blocks of choice for the on-surface synthesis of atomically precise nanostructures and networks. These systems will have tunable chemical and photophysical properties for the translational development of platform technologies in the advanced materials sciences. This is a highly interdisciplinary project which brings together researchers from synthetic organic chemistry, nanoscale science and interface physics and requires a strong interest in these areas. While primarily located at TU Munich, the researcher will simultaneously be embedded in the Senge research team and regularly stay at Trinity College Dublin. Participation in STEM outreach and collaborative research projects and grants is expected. Background Information: Nat. Chem. 2015, 7, 105; Chem. Eur. J. 2019, 25, 4590; Angew. Chem. Int.
