The synthetic methodology to covalently link donors to form cyclophane-based thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) molecules is presented. These are the first reported examples of TADF cyclophanes with “electronically innocent” bridges betw...

Resonance-enhanced charge delocalization in carbazole-oligoyne-oxadiazole conjugates (2020)
Journal Article
Zieleniewska, A., Zhao, X., Bauroth, S., Wang, C., Batsanov, A., Calderson, C., …Guldi, D. (2020). Resonance-enhanced charge delocalization in carbazole-oligoyne-oxadiazole conjugates. Journal of the American Chemical Society, 142(44), 18769-18781. https://doi.org/10.1021/jacs.0c04003

There are notably few literature reports of electron donor-acceptor oligoynes although they offer unique opportunities for studying charge transport through ‘all-carbon’ molecular bridges. In this context, the current study focuses on a series of car... Read More about Resonance-enhanced charge delocalization in carbazole-oligoyne-oxadiazole conjugates.

Electronic conductance and thermopower of single-molecule junctions of oligo(phenyleneethynylene) derivatives (2020)

Unusual dual-emissive heteroleptic iridium complexes incorporating TADF cyclometalating ligands (2020)
Journal Article
Benjamin, H., Zheng, Y., Kozhevnikov, V. N., Siddle, J. S., O'Driscoll, L. J., Fox, M. A., …Bryce, M. R. (2020). Unusual dual-emissive heteroleptic iridium complexes incorporating TADF cyclometalating ligands. Dalton Transactions, 49(7), 2190-2208. https://doi.org/10.1039/c9dt04672k

Five new neutral heteroleptic iridium(III) complexes IrL2(pic) (2–6) based on the archetypical blue emitter FIrpic have been synthesised. The cyclometallating ligands L are derived from 2-(2,6-F2-3-pyridyl)-4-mesitylpyridine (7), 2-(3-cyano-2,6-F2-ph...
