The aim of the project is investigation of newly synthesized thianthrene derivatives showing phosphorescence at room temperature. Metal-free organic materials that show room temperature phosphorescence are attractive alternatives to organometallic emitters because of their flexible synthesis, low cost, abundant and environmentally friendly properties, and good stability. Metal-free organic compounds showing room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) have great potential for high contrast bioimaging, high sensitivity oxygen optical sensing, singlet fission materials, and advanced security imaging.
Project funding:
Project is funded by EU Structural Funds according to the 2014–2020 Operational Programme for the European Union Funds’ Investments priority “Development of scientific competence of researchers, other researchers, students through practical scientific activities” under Measure No. 09.3.3-LMT-K-712.
Project results:
The thermal, electrochemical, and optical properties of thianthrene-based derivatives will be investigated. The selection of suitable polymeric hosts and compatibility with RTP emitter will be done as well as the investigation of influence of different hosts to photophysical properties of RTP emitter – host systems.
Period of project implementation: 2019-07-02 - 2019-08-31
Project coordinator: Kaunas University of Technology
