Strong Light-Matter Coupling with N-heteropolycycles and their Radicals (C09)

• Subject Area: Physical Chemistry of Molecules, Liquids and Interfaces, Biophysical Chemistry
• Term: since 2021
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 281029004

The field of molecular polaritonics is concerned with the properties of molecules in resonant optical cavities and the formation of hybrid light-matter particles called polaritons. Strong light-matter coupling of selected N-heteropolycycles will be used to suppress or enhance certain photochemical processes. Furthermore, polaritons of organic radicals and radical ions in resonant optical cavities will be demonstrated and manipulated.
