This CRC will bridge the design of organic molecules and the properties of two-dimensional materials. CRC members aim to create novel nanomaterials using tailor-made inorganic and organic molecules. To develop a fundamental understanding of the key properties of such heterostructures, scientists will employ experimental methods such as state-of-the-art spectroscopy and microscopy, complemented by theoretical modeling and machine learning. In this way, the characteristics of the heterostructures will be predicted through large-scale simulations and verified at the microscopic level. In the long term, this interdisciplinary initiative, situated between physics and chemistry, seeks to design components that lead to novel phases of matter and to synthesize new materials through altered reaction pathways.
