Objective Structural determination of complex chemical compounds is a difficult task and involves the combined use of several tools rooted in different physical principles, many of them classify like spectroscopies as they involve interaction between molecules and electromagnetic radiationWe propose a research program based in 3 major topics in configurational and conformational molecular elucidation. The 1 is centered in nuclear magnetic resonance (wp1), principally involving preparation and testing of novel NMR alignment media and the development of new software for structural analysis automation procedures. Shape-persistent acetylenic macrocycles and polyaromatic structures can provide ordered systems in which constitution, physical properties, and chemical reactivity can be controlled in exquisite detail. Thus in WP2 synthesis and structural elucidation of π-conjugated systems tailored to exhibit specific properties will be addressed involving information gathered from NMR, chiroptical and electrochemical analyses. The 3 topic focuses on the analysis of chiroptical properties (WP3): ORD, ECD and VCD data will be used with the help of quantum mechanics not only for conformational and configurational characterization in combination with NMR, but also to elucidate the origin of the observed chiralityInTECHSE will offer a unique opportunity for the synthetic chemists to learn basic aspects of structural information obtained by magnetic and optical spectroscopies in which experimental measurements are colligated with theoretical calculations. Theoretical chemists will benefit from the possibility of designing together with the synthetic chemists systems for gaining understanding on the mechanisms responsible of chiroptical responses and appropriated methodologies for structural characterization. The expected outcome of this collaborative research is a new set of protocols ready for the use of the synthetic organic chemists in the structural determination of complex structure Fields of science natural sciencesphysical sciencesquantum physicsnatural sciencesphysical sciencesopticsspectroscopy Programme(s) FP7-PEOPLE - Specific programme "People" implementing the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Community for research, technological development and demonstration activities (2007 to 2013) Topic(s) FP7-PEOPLE-2012-IRSES - Marie Curie Action "International Research Staff Exchange Scheme" Call for proposal FP7-PEOPLE-2012-IRSES See other projects for this call Funding Scheme MC-IRSES - International research staff exchange scheme (IRSES) Coordinator UNIVERSIDAD DE VIGO Address Lg campus lagoas marcosende 36310 Vigo pontevedra Spain See on map Region Noroeste Galicia Pontevedra Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Anxo Moreira González (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window EU contribution No data Participants (4) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all FRIEDRICH-ALEXANDER-UNIVERSITAET ERLANGEN-NUERNBERG Germany EU contribution € 16 800,00 Address Schlossplatz 4 91054 Erlangen See on map Region Bayern Mittelfranken Erlangen, Kreisfreie Stadt Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Milan Kivala (Dr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data CONSIGLIO NAZIONALE DELLE RICERCHE Italy EU contribution € 18 900,00 Address Piazzale aldo moro 7 00185 Roma See on map Region Centro (IT) Lazio Roma Activity type Research Organisations Administrative Contact Fabrizio Santoro (Dr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data UNIVERSIDADE NOVA DE LISBOA Participation ended Portugal EU contribution € 0,00 Address Campus de campolide 1099 085 Lisboa See on map Region Continente Área Metropolitana de Lisboa Área Metropolitana de Lisboa Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Fernando Santana (Prof.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Other funding No data FACULDADE DE CIENCIAS E TECNOLOGIADA UNIVERSIDADE NOVA DE LISBOA Portugal EU contribution € 4 200,00 Address Quinta da torre 2829 516 Caparica See on map Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Gaspar Luis Filipe (Dr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data
