Current trends in organic/inorganic nanomaterials development – laboratory 1200-PROJ36
1) Development of a synthetic route leading to a given product (the structure of the final compound will be chosen to include both alkyl and aromatic parts as well as few different functional groups)
Retrosynthetic analysis and planning of possible synthetic routes to obtain the proposed final compound. Critical evaluation of the found recipes in the context of available equipment and safety issues. Selection of appropriate recipes.
2) Synthesis and structural analysis of obtained compounds
Conducting a series of reactions leading to a given product. The variety of proposed reactions will require high-level skills of organic synthesis (e.g. anhydrous conditions, elevated/reduced temperatures, ultrasounds). Analysis of the course of reactions using chromatographic techniques and centrifugation.
Isolation of the desired compounds from the reaction mixture using different purifications techniques, e.g. crystallization, extraction, column chromatography, flash chromatography, distillation at reduced pressure.
Analysis of the structure of obtained compounds by analysis of 1H and 13C NMR spectra.
3) Synthesis of nanoparticles
Synthesis of gold and silver nanoparticles using methods described in the literature. Determination of morphology (shape, size, and size distribution) of obtained nanoparticles by e.g. TEM and SAXS techniques.
4) Synthesis of hybrid nanomaterials (organic/inorganic)
By performing ligand exchange reaction compounds obtained in point 1 will be introduced to the surface of the nanoparticles.
5) Structural measurements
The structure of the obtained material and its tunability will be determined by performing temperature-/photo-dependent SAXRD and TEM measurements. The student learns the theoretical basis of these techniques and conducts independent measurements of previously obtained materials.
6) Optical properties
Measurements of the changes in the optical properties of materials using e.g. UV-Vis spectroscopy and/or fluorimetry.
All classes can be held online without hands-on work. In such a case discussion about the techniques are expanded.

Student can independently plan a multi-step organic synthesis using online databases. Student is able to perform various types of organic reactions and choose the appropriate technique to isolate the product from the reaction mixture. Student can analyze the structure of obtained compounds by analyze of 1H and 13C NMR spectra. Student can plan and perform synthesis of nanoparticles of different types using scientific literature. Student can prepare hybrid, organic/inorganic, nanoparticles with controlled structure. Student can independently perform advanced structural analysis of the obtained materials using e.g. x-ray and electron microscopy methods. Student can independently perform advanced functional analysis of the obtained materials using e.g. UVVis spectroscopy and fluorimetry methods.
Kryteria oceniania
1) 2 colloquia throughout the course of the project; then the mark is calculated based on the % of points acquired in respect of the maximal threshold: 5 (90-100%), 4,5 (80-89%), 4 (70-79%), 3,5 (60-69%), 3 (51-59%)
or
2) a final report (including results of the project) assessment.
Also, the laboratory work of the student will be assessed (can change the mark of colloquia or the final report by plus or minus 0.5 depending on students performance).
Two absences are allowed.
