The Organic Molecular Materials group at the University Complutense of Madrid and IMDEA-Nanoscience Institute is led by Prof. Nazario Martín. The research activity is mainly focused on Carbon Nanostructures as materials for the preparation of photo- and electroactive Functional Organic Molecular Systems. In particular, the covalent and supramolecular chemistry of carbon nanoforms in the context of chirality and asymmetric catalysis (bottom-up nanographenes, graphene quantum dots, carbon nanodots, and pulsed laser synthesis of carbon nanoparticles), electron transfer processes, photovoltaic applications (organic and perovskite solar cells), supramolecular functional assemblies and nanoscience. Research in our group also involves the study of carbon nanostructures for bio-medical applications, and the study of organic molecules on metal surfaces, molecular nanowires for molecular electronics and “on-surface” synthesis.
