GRK 2482: Modulation of Intersystem Crossing - ModISC

分子的电子激发影响着从光生物学到分子电子学，从基础科学到应用（如有机发光二极管（OLED））的各个领域。系间跃迁（ISC）是具有不同自旋多重性的电子态之间的非辐射相互转换，是光化学和光物理中的一个关键过程。ISC的效率和动力学可以使电子激发的分子对光不稳定或光稳定、发光或暗。该RTG提出通过化学取代和改变分子环境来研究和调节分子中的ISC。它促进和促进跨学科研究，通过控制ISC从单线态到三线态及其反向来寻求对发射增强的更深入理解。与这一高度专题研究密切相关的是，将建立一个跨学科的博士培训计划，特别考虑到候选人的不同科学背景。博士研究人员正在由持有互补专业知识的PI的共同监督团队进行战略指导。此外，与国际演讲者的研讨会，RTG研讨会和RTG培训将提高年轻研究人员的教育和特定主题的教学技能，为未来在学术界或工业界的工作做好最佳准备。

Electronic excitation of molecules impacts diverse areas ranging from photobiology to molecular electronics, from basic science to applications, such as organic light emitting diodes (OLED). Intersystem crossing (ISC), the non-radiative interconversion of electronic states with different spin multiplicities, is a key process in photochemistry and photophysics. The efficiency and kinetics of ISC can render electronically excited molecules photolabile or -stable, emissive or dark. This RTG proposes to study and modulate ISC in molecules by chemical substitution and by varying the molecular environment. It promotes and fosters interdisciplinary research seeking for a deeper understanding of emission enhancement by controlling ISC from singlet to triplet and its reverse. Closely related to this highly topical research, a cross-curricular PhD training program will be established, taking into special consideration diverse scientific backgrounds of the candidates. The doctoral researchers are being strategically mentored by co-supervision teams of PIs holding complementary expertise. In addition, workshops with international speakers, RTG symposia, and the RTG training will enhance the educational and subject-specific didactical skills of the young researchers as an optimal preparation for future work in academia or industry.
