DIPOLAR ROTOR ARRAY Regular Arrays of Artificial Surface-Mounted Dipolar Molecular Rotors

Coordinator: USTAV ORGANICKE CHEMIE A BIOCHEMIE, AV CR, V.V.I. (CZ)

We propose a feasibility demonstration of an unprecedented concept: preparation of regular two-dimensional arrays of artificial surface-mounted dipolar molecular rotors and control of their coherent motion by the application of an outside electric field. The proposal involves a highly interdisciplinary endeavor, which requires experience in synthesis (preparation of molecular rotors), surface chemistry (assembly of rotors into arrays on surfaces), surface spectroscopy and scanning microscopy (characterization of rotor arrays on surfaces), and theory (modeling of rotor dynamics). The principal…

About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)

The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.

EU contribution: €2.5M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 5.5 years from 2009-02-01 to 2014-07-31.
