From the Computer to the Lab: Rational Design and Synthesis of Light-Emitting Materials
Many organic molecules are efficient light emitters used for optoelectronic devices such as OLEDs, due to their advantages over metallic counterparts, including lower toxicity, simpler disposal, and sustainability. However, the methodologies commonly used in organic synthesis to obtain these molecules often rely on harsh conditions and generate large amounts of waste, making them both ineffective and inefficient. This work aligns with some of the principles of green chemistry across different stages.
