Circularly Polarized Luminescence
- Designing, characterizing, and providing important specific information concerning
the thermodynamic, structural, dynamic, spectroscopic, and chiroptical properties
of luminescent lanthanide complexes with chiral ligands as potential probes of more
complex molecules, e.g. biomolecules, for instance by preferential interaction with
one enantiomer
- Designing, synthesizing, and spectral characterization of chiral lanthanide complexes
for applications as chiroptical probes
- Studying of the solution structure of chiral lanthanide complexes by circularly polarized
luminescence (CPL), a chiroptical technique
- Lanthanide(III) luminescence as a probe of structures, dynamics, and excited state
energetics of metal-containing biomolecular systems such as Ca(II)-binding proteins
- Developing, maintaining, improving and using a chiroptical induced-CPL-based technique to determine the absolute configuration of simple chiral organic molecules, as well as to study the polarization of the emitted light of metal-containing and/or organic compounds
