Understanding and Controlling the Structure at Organic-Inorganic Interfaces for the Generation of Stimuli Responsive Multilayered Materials

Abstract

The primary goals of this project are to use carefully designed molecular derivatives, metal linking ions, and self-assembly methods, along with a combination of Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET) and polarized attenuated total reflectance (ATR), to determine the parameters that dictate the structure (i.e. the relative distances and orientation) of the molecules in the self-assembled films. We will then use steady-state and time resolved measurement techniques determine how the structure of the multilayer film dictates the properties of the interface. Additionally, we will incorporate stimuli responsive molecular motifs into the assemblies that will act as reversible molecular switches to externally control, using either optical or electrical stimuli, electron and energy transfer at the interface.
