Atomic-Scale Engineering of Bioactive Organic Molecules on Surfaces (2024–2026)
- Abstract:
- Advances in scanning probe microscopy (SPM) have enabled the precise engineering of matter at surfaces. The ability to image and track changes at surfaces is simply staggering, but the frontier of molecules with pharmaceutical and agrichemical importance remains unexplored. This interdisciplinary project aims to synthesise fundamental molecules and reveal molecular rearrangement pathways utilising SPM. Expected outcomes of this project include new methods to couple molecules otherwise unobtainable by traditional means and fundamental knowledge of molecular manipulation and chemical structure. This aims to provide significant benefits, such as the translation of new chemical principles to academic and industrial laboratories.
