Synthesis of receptors with nanosize cavities. Transducion of molecular recognition into electronic signals

Objetivo



Almost from the beginning supramolecular chemistry has been associated with possible applications based on shape-selective interaction between molecules or between ions and molecules. These applications involve the translation of molecular properties to macroscopic level and will lead to new materials or devices. The real challenge is find ways to communicate with individual molecules or assemblies of molecules and exploit events at the molecular level. Molecular electronics, wires, switches, etc., have been discussed and nanostructures already approach this level. The objective of this project is the construction of "three-dimensional architectures" with large, (semi-) rigid cavities (nanosize cavities). In rigid cavities, complexation is often difficult. Therefore the influence of some flexibility and/ or additional binding sites will be studied in order to obtain optimal complexation.
One of the application of these molecules will be to perform (and accelerate) reactions (e.g. Diels Alder) inside of the cavities. Another particular challenge will be the application of these molecules as a possible chemical sensor.
