Project C05 studies one-dimensional molecular lattices using nanotubes as templates to create aligned molecular chains, forming giant J-aggregates with collective excitations. The project explores these states through luminescence, absorption, and Raman scattering, and investigates how molecular switches inside nanotubes affect emission. It also examines charge transfer and polyhalide chain formation using ionic liquids and donor/acceptor molecules.

Experimental methods: filling of nanotubes, photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectroscopy, absorption (UV-vis), Raman spectroscopy
