CISSE Consortium

The CISSE consortium members carry out research at the forefront of a number of interlinked theoretical and experimental disciplines involving: molecular design, synthetic chemistry, organic materials, nanoscience, electrochemistry, chirality, surface chemistry, industrial scale up, development of analytical methods and instrumentation. 

The scientific objective of CISSE is to make a giant leap forward into the knowledge and understanding of the intriguing CISS effect. This entails a list of well-defined goals namely to:

• elucidate the link between molecular structure and spin polarization,
• use spin polarization to trigger and direct CSB at nano and macro scales,
• explore the asymmetric synthesis using the CISS effect in (photo)redox reactions,
• assess the use of CISS effect in multistep syntheses of industrially-relevant molecules,
• quantify the role of spin-polarization in the intermolecular interactions of biomolecules and to measure energy scale in bio recognition process,
• understand the role of exchange interactions in CISS effect,
• develop analytical methods and instruments to detect spectral signature of CISS effect.

The CISSE consortium includes the following 14 participants:

1. UNIVERSITE LIBRE DE BRUXELLES (ULB)
