“Development of strategies for enhancing chiroptical properties in functional metal complexes inspired by nature”
Job description
Description of tasks: The work will consist of conducting the assigned research tasks as part of the project financed by the Polish National Science Center: “Development of strategies for enhancing chiroptical properties in functional metal complexes inspired by nature”. The project encompasses the synthesis of model metal complexes to be studied for their chiroptical properties. The key aspects of this project are: synthesis of model metal complexes with defined stereochemistry, CD and CPL measurements conducting in both solution and the solid-state; theoretical calculations of chiroptical spectra, interpretation of experimental and calculated data to link molecular structure with chiroptical properties.
