Microstructured Surfaces for Spatially Resolved Catalysis (B04)

• Subject Area: Solid State and Surface Chemistry, Material Synthesis
• Term: from 2016 to 2019
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 259079535

Surfaces functionalized in a spatially resolved fashion with precision designed metallopolymers featuring defined chain lengths will be established. The functionalization will be carried out via photolithographic methods. Surface tethered reactive groups ("caged dienes", "caged enes") will be photolytically activated and subsequently reacted with either ligands, metal complexes, or the noted metallopolymers. On the long term, the obtained surfaces will be used for sequential organic reactions in a flow reactor.
