Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)
About the Project
We have recently reported the synthesis of suitable substituted 5-phenylazopyrimidines (see selected references for more information). Their physicochemical properties were studied using in situ irradiation NMR spectroscopy and optical spectroscopy. The goal of the current project will be the synthesis of novel molecular photoswitches based on a combination of bisazobenzenes and pyrimidines, namely bis(pyrimidinyldiazenyl)benzenes. Their synthesis will be developed and optimized and their physicochemical properties will be evaluated.
How to apply
To apply for a PhD study at IOCB Prague, you must hold a Master’s degree (MSc) or the equivalent of the MSc in similar field (four or five year undergraduate degree). The application can be submitted before obtaining the Master’s degree, however, the applicant should obtain the degree within five months after the application deadline.
