The Femtoscience and Microscopy Group of the University of Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM) was founded in 1998 and since then has been led by Prof. Dr. Abderrazzak Douhal, Professor of Physical Chemistry. Currently, the group is part of the Institute of Nanoscience, Nanotechnology and Molecular Materials (INAMOL), located on the Toledo Technology Campus.
The Team is composed of three Associate Professors, two postdoctoral researchers and three PhD students.
Current research focuses on explaining the spectroscopic and photodynamic properties of hydrogen/metal/covalent bonding organic frameworks (MOF, COF and HOF) and related hybrid materials containing different organic fluorophores and interacting with different molecules.
We also focus on photoinduced energy, charge (electrons) and proton transfer reactions and internal rotation in aromatic molecules, including drugs, in condensed phase and confined within chemical and biological nanocavities and nanochannels, relevant to nanoscience (nanomedicine, nanophotonics and nanocatalysis).
But we are also elucidating the electron-hole dynamics in perovskite and QDs-Perovskite hybrid materials, using fs-UV and IR transient absorption techniques and fs-THz time resolution.
