Research profile
The unit is divided into two groups of non-equal size. The larger group consists of 
several teams, which together constitute a quite complete set of competencies for 
physical chemistry applied to supramolecular photochemistry. The topics of the 
teams span from target-oriented organic synthesis of molecular donor-acceptor 
systems to advanced time-resolved spectroscopy (femto- and nanosecond range). 
Target applications are, for example, organic films for photovoltaic applications. The 
more newly established organic group focuses on methods-oriented organic 
synthesis, in particular organic and organometallic methods, with bioactive 
compounds for pharmaceutical applications as prime targets.
