Kurzbeschreibung (Englisch)

The attached project is concerned with the use of the template effect to create a variety of structurally complex self-assembled products from simple starting materials. The planned research is subdivided into three parts. In the first part (Section 2.2.3.1, p.3), we investigate what kinds macrocyclic structures of complex topology might be constructed using our methodology. In the second part (Section 2.2.3.2, p.4), we create oligomeric helicates of well defined length. In the third part, (Section 2.2.3.3, p.5), we extend these studies to the generation of polymeric helicates. Several techniques will be investigated to control the molecular weight and polydispersity of these polymers. The goals of this research are thus to develop new means to create structural complexity through thermodynamic self-assembly, and to investigate whether these materials that might serve a useful function, to conduct electricity.
