Let There Be LED: Successful Spin-Off from SFB 677 and the Herges Group
Proper lighting is crucial for molecules to be operated like machines. Chemist Benjamin Sahlmann has acquired the necessary know-how - and builds his existence on it. His company Sahlmann Photochemical Solutions has been on the market for a year. Kieler Nachrichten recently published a detailed story on this successful spin-off from our SFB 677 and the Herges group.

Beilstein-TV Reports on "Record Player Molecules"
An episode from Beilstein TV reports on the development of switchable contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the workgroup of Prof. R. Herges.

The movie shows the collaboration between organic chemistry and neuroradiology at the university medical center Schleswig-Holstein to foster the development of switchable MRI contrast agents. The synthesis of the so-called "record player molecules" in the laboratory as well as the envisioned clinical application are demonstrated.

Beilstein-TV Reports on Molecular Switches from SFB 677
A podcast from Beilstein TV reports on the design, synthesis and characterization of new molecular switches from the workgroup of Prof. Dr. R. Herges.

The new switches are based on the diazocine switching unit, which itself is an improved azobenzene. Upon irradiation, the substances not only undergo a color change, but the less flexible molecular structure enables their application as a molecular synthetic machine.
The Beilstein TV movie gives an insight into the process leading from an idea and computer-based development to an optimized synthesis yielding new molecular switches.
