The aim of the project is the developing of biologically relevant bichromophores complexes with, from one side, the ability of enhanced singlet oxygen formation and, from other side, the ability of tight control of singlet oxygen concentration by depletion (e.g. consumption of singlet oxygen during endoperoxides formation) in organic solvents and in water/micelles solutions.

• Purification of organic compounds.

• Synthesis of macrocyclic compounds.
• Scientific initiative and contribution through regular reporting, participation in international conferences.

We offer a scholarship position in the Institute of Physical Chemistry PAS with a monthly stipend of 1500 PLN per month financed from the NCN OPUS 20 Project No. 2020/39/B/ST4/01956.
