Photophysics and Electronic Structure of Metal-Organic Frameworks
The Focus Group “Photophysics and Electronic Structure of Metal-Organic Frameworks” consists of Hans Fischer Fellow Prof. Natalia B. Shustova (University of South Carolina) and her host Prof. Roland A. Fischer (TUM Department of Chemistry).
The study of energy and electron transfer (ET) processes is a cornerstone of modern physical and inorganic chemistry, which is driven by the growing demand for efficient energy conversion. This is necessary to build a sustainable energy society that is not dependent on fossil fuels. Our Focus Group focuses on materials with a predesigned pathway for ET, which can address the urgent needs to rapidly enhance material performance in areas ranging from optoelectronic devices to photocatalytic systems and thus could dramatically alter the existing energy and material landscape. Well-defined materials such as the metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) targeted within this collaboration offer significant advantages for achieving directional ET: They provide a high level of control for chromophore arrangement, structural parameters, and photophysical properties. To harness MOFs as a versatile platform for enhancing energy utilization, we first need to elucidate mechanistic and structural aspects governing ET efficiency. Thus, preparation of materials with a predesigned pathway for ET still remains a noteworthy challenge; addressing it is the main focus of our collaborative efforts.
