Organometallic Thermally-Activated Delayed Fluorescence molecules

Short-lived and narrowband photoluminescence are a hallmark of planar rigid metal complexes which have the potential to resolve existing problems of blue and near infrared OLEDs.

Molecular Modelling and Computational Chemistry

Efficient and cost-effective molecular design based on in-depth understanding of electronic transitions in luminescent materials.

Organic Light-Emitting Diodes

Design and fabrication of prototype vacuum-deposited and solution-processed OLEDs.

Room Temperature Phosphorescence without metals

Metal-free Room Temperature Phosphorescence (RTP) can be very useful for anti-counterfeit luminescent markers or tagging thanks to the dual luminescent nature and long phosphorescence lifetimes of RTP materials.

Exciplexes

Exciplexes are intriguing bimolecular species which hide many secrets despite decades of research. They are very useful in broadband luminescence applications, such as white light OLEDs, and as host OLED systems.

Excimers and aggregates of platinum(II) complexes

The significance of planar platinum(II) complexes forming face-to-face intermolecular Pt-Pt interactions cannot be underestimated. They are the most efficient emitters of Near Infrared OLEDs known.

Electrochemistry

Understanding the redox behaviour of luminescent systems is of vital importance for their application in OLEDs and device degradation studies. Electrochemical techniques can contribute to understanding of layer charge transport properties in optoelectronic devices.
