SPIRANT is a project funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation and by the European Regional Development Fund "A way of making Europe", within the "Proyectos de Generación de Conocimiento 2022" call. The project pursues the the synthesis of a novel family of carbon-based architectures and investigation of their optical and electronic properties, with the aim to fuel their use in molecular optoelectronics. The project uses a peculiar building block to design and furnish discrete structures, together with the evaluation and understanding of their structure-property relationship.

SPIRANT is developed at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Granada. The project makes use of the MOReFUN & NanographOUT Group infrastructure and instrumentation, as well as the one provided by the Department of Organic Chemistry. The project is also founded on the active collaboration with the University of Palermo and the University of Lisbon, where Professor Ermelinda Maçôas and Fabrizio Messina are active collaborators of the project.
