CHEMISTRY AND ENERGY

Abstract: The ambitious goal: to set up a revolutionary prototype instrument for bioanalyses based on chiroptical spectroscopies, employing only modern optoelectronic devices, i.e. avoiding expensive items for producing and detecting circularly polarized (CP) and monochromatic light (sources, polarization modulators, detectors). We constitute a multidisciplinary team with complementary expertise covering synthetic organic and inorganic chemistry, spectroscopy, characterization of molecules and materials and device fabrication and testing. Our ambitious and final goal will be using our CP-devices (light sources and detectors) for designing and constructing a dedicated prototype chiroptical instrument, based on plastic electronic components. It will be lightweight, portable and inexpensive and it will be coupled to at least one of the analytical assays based on our chiroptical switches to det
