The number of chemically unique arrangements of 15 annulated benzene rings into a planar two-dimensional molecular hydrocarbon exceeds 74,000,000. How does one pick the right target structure? We herein present the development of a complete materials genome library that predicts key fundamental physical properties for 0D-, 1D-, and 2D-Nanographenes that can guide researchers in the design of molecular building blocks for carbon-based nano technology.
Biography
Felix Fischer is a professor in the Department of Chemistry at UC Berkeley. The highly integrated multidisciplinary research programs in the Fischer group are founded on modular bottom-up organic synthesis of functional materials with precisely defined structure, their controlled assembly into hierarchically ordered architectures, and the characterization of exotic physical phenomena emerging from quantum confinement effects in nanomaterials on multiple length, time, and energy scales.
