Dr. Antje Modrow                   

Research Area:

• SFB:677 - Function by switching
• Project C5: Switchable, porous inorganic-organic hybrid compounds
  

Current Research Area:

• Synthesis of MOFs containing covalently attached switchable molecules (e.g. azobenzene derivates)
  
• UV-irradiation cis-trans switches the azobenzene derivate

     --> changes the polarity , the dipole moment, and the required space   
     --> hope to change the sorption properties, e.g. the capacity, selectivity, the kinetics, gas uptake, storage and release




Awards: George Kokotailo Award der Fachsektion Zeolithe auf der 23. Deutschen Zeolithtagung Erlangen (2011).
