Nazario Martín Group
The research developed in our group is mainly focused to Carbon Nanostructures (Fullerenes and Carbon Nanotubes) as materials for the preparation of Photo- and Electroactive Organic Molecular Systems. This is interdisciplinary research field involving disciplines such as Chemistry, Physics and Materials Science. In particular, our group is currently engaged in the study of electroactive materials, photoinduced electron transfer processes and chemical modification of fullerenes and carbon nanotubes, mainly oriented to the preparation of artificial photosynthetic systems and photovoltaic devices. Nanoscience is also a main task in our current research through the study of molecular nanowires for the so called molecular electronics. The preparation of organized functional assemblies at the nanometer scale is a central point in the development of the bottom-up approach to nanoscience. These organized structures can be attained by the adsorption of suitable molecules on solid surfaces and their further self-assembly. To visualize and manipulate the ensembles scanning probe techniques are being successfully utilized. These basic research themes in which our group is currently engaged, have a strong technological and socioeconomic impact for our Society.
