Chiroptical Systems
J. L. Alonso-Gómez´s research aims at controlling chiroptical responses to enable the design of functional chiroptical systems. Using chiral axes, he has developed Up-standing Chiral Architectures, All-Carbon Double Helices, Flexible Chiral Shape-Persistent Macrocycles and Covalent Organic Helical Cages. While his initial studies in chirality were focused on allenes, the photoinstability presented by these systems motivated the exploration of stable spirobifluorenes (SBFs). The use of this robust chiral axes enabled recently the development of Device-compatible Chiroptical Systems, Tetracyano-SBFs, Metallaaromatic-SBFs, and Helical Molecular Orbitals.
