An experimental and theoretical study of exciplex-forming compounds containing trifluorobiphenyl and 3,6-di- tert -butylcarbazole units and their performance in OLEDs
in Journal of Materials Chemistry C
Description | Long conjugated molecules have been synthesised and studied as molecular wires. The compounds have exceptional switching in conductance as a function of applied potential. |
Exploitation Route | New design principle for single molecule conductors. |
Sectors | Chemicals Electronics |
Description | Two papers emerging from the work in this project are being highly cited and are making an impact on new research - these are the papers on single-molecule conductance and a new molecular design for exceptional variation of conductance (Nature Nanotechnology), and a review on the damaging acidic nature of PEDOT-PSS which is a well-used hole transport material for many types of electronic and optoelectronic devices. The latter was published in Materials Horizons and has already attracted 200 citations. |

PI Contribution | A new conjugated molecule has been synthesised and is being studied for its single molecule conductance using the break-junction method. |
Collaborator Contribution | The collaboration is with Prof Latha Venkataraman from Columbia University, USA. The partners are experts in studying single molecule conductance using the break-junction method. They are carrying out such measurements on two new materials made from the Skabara group. This method is an alternative way of characterising the conductance of target molecules, compared to the methods applied by our co-investigators in Oxford. |
Impact | We have discovered a new chemical design principle for exploiting destructive quantum interference. The approach has provided a six-nanometer single-molecule switch where the on-state current is more than 10,000 times greater than the off-state current - the largest change in current achieved for a single-molecule circuit to date. The work is multi-disciplinary and involves chemistry (Glasgow) and applied physics (Columbia). The work has been published in Nature Nanotechnology and has received significant coverage in the scientific press (Physicsworld, Science Bulletin, EurekAlert!, ScienMag, Science Daily, Brinkwire, sciencenewsnet.in, Nanowerk, Newswise, Phys.org, Scitech Daily, Bioengineer.com). |
