MOFs are porous polymers composed of metal ions or metal clusters coordinated to organic ligands, forming one‑, two‑, or three-dimensional repeating structures. For their development, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded in 2025. These materials represent functional structures with defined architecture, tunable properties, and good applicability in numerous fields, from sustainable technologies to chiral sensing or molecular recognition. On the other hand, bifunctional helicenes have not yet been studied as possible organic ligands utilized in these materials. The preparation, characterization, and above all the search for suitable applications will be the aim of this thesis, which will also be carried out in collaboration with the Université de Picardie Jules Verne, France.
What we require and offer:
- Master’s degree in organic/inorganic chemistry or technology;
- Systematic and creative approach to work;
- Employment contract at ICPF, participation in a “cotutelle” PhD programme with the earning of two PhD degrees from CZ/FRA
Expert Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Adam Duong, Ph.D.
