Fotofysische karakterisering en computationeel onderzoek naar op azuleen gebaseerde kleurstoffen

First computational investigations will be done in a first stage. These investigations will help re-defining the molecular design strategies and pinpoint post-functionalization strategies beneficial to obtain anti-Kasha molecular systems. Also, these investigations in the pool of initial candidates will unambiguously determine whether those systems are truly behaving in an anti-Kasha manner or not. The modelling-driven design strategies will help us reducing the pool of initial candidates to be synthesized and characterized. Finally, spectroscopic investigations will be performed on the herein synthesized anti-Kasha chromophores.
