Research

The ability of organic molecules to emit light in the excited state is used in numerous applications – for example in medical imaging, analytical chemistry or physics. The German-Indian IRTG "Photoluminescence in Supramolecular Matrices" aims to develop a new generation of materials that have such luminescence properties. The aim is to produce tailor-made supramolecular assemblies, i.e. molecules that are organized in superordinate structures. These molecular assemblies consist of light-emitting substances and an environment that has an influence on the luminescence properties.
