The Flood Group is seeking to establish the fundamental science behind molecular devices.
The design principles mimic those of everyday machines. For this purpose, supramolecular systems and mechanically interlocked molecules are promising candidates. We employ synthetic techniques to access our target machines, redox-active transition metals to make them go and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy to see them operating on gold electrode surfaces.
