Research

During my PhD thesis I am working on organic and metal organic synthesis for the combination of luminescent cyclometalated Platinum complexes with other functional molecules to take advantage of combined properties. For that, I am considering the behavior of host-guest systems, liquid crystals and supramolecular aggregates based on several types of binding like H-bonding and π-π stacking. Furthermore, I investigate the aggregation of functionalized Pt(II) complexes in aqueous environment and eventually the controllability by outer stimuli. From these studies not only fundamental insights can be deduced, but also applications in biological systems might be accessible like drug-delivery or cell-staining.
