Functional Organic Materials (ALU FB, WS23/24)

The objectives of this course are

– to get an overview of organic molecular materials and their various classes of applications

– to learn about tools to characterize and compute materials properties on a molecular level

– broaden the scope of advanced organic synthesis with a focus on functional pi-Systems (aromatic chemistry)
