Tuning the Absorption, Fluorescence, Intramolecular Charge Transfer, and Intersystem Crossing in Spiro[fluorene]acridinone
Researchers from Friedrich-Alexander-University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU) and the Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications provide important guidance for designing novel functional materials for triplet sensitizers and fluorescent sensors. Intersystem crossing is a significant photophysical process in organic molecular systems on the way to create a triplet excited state, which is the cornerstone of photo-catalysis, photo-upconversion, […]Researchers from Friedrich-Alexander-University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU) and the Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications provide important guidance for designing novel functional materials for triplet sensitizers and fluorescent sensors.

Researchers “film” the activation of an important receptor
An international team of researchers including the Chair of Medicinal Chemistry (Prof. Dr. Peter Gmeiner) has succeeded in “filming” the activation of an important receptor. They froze the involved molecules at different points in time and photographed them under the electron microscope. They were then able to place these still images in sequence. This sequence […]

Doctoral students from the FAU Profile Center Solar win GSMS Winter School Research Proposal Competition
An interdisciplinary team of doctoral students from the FAU Profile Center Solar has won this year’s Graduate School Molecular Science (GMSM) research project competition. The young scientists took part in the GSMS Winter School, which took place in Kirchberg, Austria, in January 2024. The aim of the competition was for interdisciplinary teams consisting of four […]

Switching molecules on & off by light to control cellular dynamics
Diseases are usually restricted to a certain organ or tissue in the human body. However, medications are typically not only administered to the site of disease but to the entire body. This can damage healthy tissue and cause unwanted side effects. To overcome this problem photopharmacology aims to develop light-responsive molecules whose activity can be […]

Stone age techniques to produce innovative reagents
Grignard reagents are by far the most well-known organometallic compounds. Although more than hundred years old, these reagents are still today essential in organic synthesis and large scale industrial processes. These complexes are based on the metal magnesium but there is increasing interest in replacing magnesium for its heavier neighboring metal calcium. Magnesium may be […]

Efficient molecular photoswitches
Molecular photoswitches are only nanometers in size and can change their structure and properties when exposed to light. Molecular photoswitches are of great importance in many applied areas ranging from the development of light-controlled drugs, solar energy harnessing, to the creation of optically switchable surfaces, and the exploration of smart information storage. They allow the […]
