The goals of
this research project are the design, synthesis and characterization of
functionalized bidimensional supramolecular structures with
applications in nanoscience and nanotechnologies. The functionalized
organic molecules design needs structural analysis and organic
syntheses know-how, simulations and molecular modelling, identification
and investigation of intermolecular interactions. We intend to
obtain and characterize Self-assembled
Bidimensional Supramolecular
Structures
(SBSS) of podands and thiophene-phenothiazine macrocycles on gold
surfaces and gold nanoparticles respectively. The project has
multi- and inter-disciplinary features, focusing on complex problems
from fundamental sciences: molecular and atomic physics, organic
chemistry and computational physics. It will be
achieved by a consortium of four representative institutions with a
strong
tradition in the R-D activities that also have the opportunity of doing
joint research with a University from France. The consortium brings
together the expertise of two national research institutes: National
Institute for R&D of Isotopic and Molecular Technologies from
Cluj-Napoca and National Institute for R&D in Physics and
Nuclear
Engineering from Bucharest, as well as two prestigious universities:
“Babes-Bolyai” University from Cluj-Napoca and
“Carol Davilla” Medicine and Pharmacy University
from Bucharest. All
of these aspects correspond to the national politics towards the
integration into the European Research Area (ERA), the expected results
being relevant for the new Framework Programme 7 (PC7) of the European
Community. |
