With a Collaborative Research Centre in chemistry, Heidelberg University has been successful in the latest approval round of the German Research Foundation (DFG). The CRC 1249 “N-Heteropolycycles as Functional Materials”, where research is being carried out on novel organic compounds, is entering its third funding period. The DFG is providing funding of around 10,9 million euros for the research consortium over a period of four years. Prof. Dr Petra Tegeder from the Institute for Physical Chemistry at Ruperto Carola will serve as spokesperson.

Funding for Collaborative Research Centre in Chemistry
The German Research Foundation providing funding of around 10,9 million euros
With a Collaborative Research Centre in chemistry, Heidelberg University has been successful in the latest approval round of the German Research Foundation (DFG). The CRC 1249 “N-Heteropolycycles as Functional Materials”, where research is being carried out on novel organic compounds, is entering its third funding period. The DFG is providing funding of around 10,9 million euros for the research consortium over a period of four years. Prof. Dr Petra Tegeder from the Institute for Physical Chemistry at Ruperto Carola will serve as spokesperson.
The focus of CRC 1249 is the development of novel organic functional materials with specifically tunable electronic and optical properties and their application as photoactive components and organic semiconductors. This is done on the basis of a large and flexibly variable class of organic hydrocarbon compounds with ring structures containing nitrogen atoms. The research plan comprises the development of synthetic-chemical methods, structural and spectroscopic characterization as well as the theoretical modeling of molecules, aggregates and solid films. Of particular interest is the way in which molecular properties are related to the optoelectronic properties of materials and devices.
The Collaborative Research Centre is supported by researchers from the three Institutes of Chemistry, the Interdisciplinary Center for Scientific Computing and the Institute for Molecular Systems Engineering and Advanced Materials at Heidelberg University. Research groups from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart are also participating. The CRC 1249 will reach the maximum funding period of twelve years.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
