Synthesis of Functional Multi-Component Supramolecular Systems and Materials
This ERC proposal targets novel synthetic strategies to arrive at functional multi-component systems and materials. They possess architectures of such high complexity that it is hard to imagine access to these systems by self-assembly or self-organization only. We will explore tools required to introduce multi-step non-covalent synthesis. We have taken inspiration from Nature, but more importantly we propose to mimic the impressive progress in the field of covalent organic and polymer synthesis. Three connected approaches are defined: The first section focusses on supramolecular polymers and how their polymerization can be compared to that of traditional covalent polymerization;…
