Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
This project is concerned with the construction of stable light emitting diodes (LEDS). Porphyrins were selected as excellent candidates for use in LEDS due to their favourable photophysical characteristics and their high redox photochemical stability. They will be used as both emissive and charge-transport materials. Both aqueous and organic-soluble derivatives will be synthesised to allow multilayer processing. Most of the initial work will be pioneered at Brunel, with their extensive experience in constructing porphyries systems. Polymer synthesis, characterisation and device construction will be done at Cambridge.
