Research Interests
Our work is focused on synthesis of novel pigments, chromophores, photoluminescent
and electroluminescent materials as well as investigation of optical properties
of materials capable of changes in color and luminescence for various real-life
applications. More specifically we develop photonic materials and devices
in two main areas: supramolecular materials for molecular sensing and materials
that can be used in fabrication of OLEDs. In the first area of research, we synthesize new supramolecular materials
with interesting photonic and/or conductor properties. These polymeric materials
are designed to change their photophysical or electrical properties as a
result of association with other materials and species. As a part of this
research we prepare new conjugated and/or semiconducting polymers with backbone-integrated
receptors that are known to bind and sense biologically important materials
such as anions, nucleotide phosphates and nucleotide-phosphonate based virostatics.
Additionally, we are exploring self-assembled organometallic dendrimers capable
of vectorial energy transfer, which is used to relay the information about
the presence of various analyte
The second main research area in the group is oriented toward the design
and synthesis of new chromophores for applications in flat displays and development
of OLED materials. Here we focus on synthesis of electroluminescent coordination
polymers.
