Professor Dr. Dirk Kurth is Full Professor and Head of the Chair of Chemical Technology of Materials Synthesis at the University of Würzburg , Faculty of Chemistry and Pharmacy. In addition to his research chair, he serves as Head of the Functional Materials degree programme, bridging teaching and cutting-edge science. Research Interests Prof. Kurth’s research is dedicated to the rational design, synthesis and characterisation of supramolecular materials . A major focus lies on metallo-supramolecular polyelectrolytes (MEPEs) whose metal–ligand coordination enables tunable mechanical, optical and electronic properties. Related investigations encompass: Electrochromic polymers for smart-window technologies and flexible displays. Lanthanide-functionalised terpyridine complexes for solid-state photoluminescence standards and sensing. Photocatalytic ruthenium and iron complexes for light-driven hydrogen evolution. Structure–property relationships probed by electrochemistry, X-ray absorption and advanced spectroscopy. His group combines synthetic coordination chemistry with materials processing techniques such as layer-by-layer self-assembly and electrophoretic deposition to translate molecular design into functional thin films and devices. Across more than 70 peer-reviewed articles since 2008, his work exhibits a clear trajectory: from fundamental coordination chemistry of terpyridine and pyrimidine ligands to application-oriented studies in energy conversion, sensing and smart coatings. Recent papers increasingly target real-world deployment, as evidenced by air-stable standards, spectrometer-free detection protocols and prototypes of electrochromic devices.
