Dual-Phosphorescent Heteroleptic Silver(I) Complex in Long-Lasting Red Light-Emitting Electrochemical Cells

Dual-Phosphorescent Heteroleptic Silver(I) Complex in Long-Lasting Red Light-Emitting Electrochemical Cells

In this research paper, STiBNite ESR 9 contributes to a thoughtful ligand/complex design strategy towards the first red-emitting Ag(I) complex, [Ag(xantphos)(deebq)]PF6, featuring (i) outstanding stabilities upon reduction and (ii) thermally equilibrated dual-phosphorescence. This achievement resulted in red light-emitting electrochemical cells with superior stabilities and irradiances compared to the prior art.

STiBNite ESRs: Outreach Presentation during Perugia School

STiBNite ESRs: Outreach Presentation during Perugia School

STiBNite ESRs, represented by ESR 4 Sumon, ESR 6 Laura and ESR 14 Miquel, presented the topics and aims of the STiBNite project in front of high-school students, on the 22nd of February, 2023. The activity took place in Perugia (Sala dei Notari), during the 3rd STiBNite school. At the end of the presentation, the students had the opportunity to see some prototypes produced within the project.

ESR 6 Laura: Theoretical Chemistry

ESR 6 Laura: Theoretical Chemistry

In this video, ESR 6 Laura (UCLouvain) describes why Theoretical Chemistry is an important tool in research, both to predict and rationalize properties of future materials.

Laura’s role in STiBNite project is to support and direct, with computational simulations, experimental scientists on the design and synthesis of new molecules, and to predict the properties of not-yet-existing BN-doped materials.

STiBNite: project goals and PhD training

STiBNite: project goals and PhD training

In this short interview, recorded during the STiBNite consortium meeting in Munich (September 2021), STiBNite coordinator Prof. Davide Bonifazi (UNIVIE), explains the goal of the project and the importance of an international experience in the PhD.

The STiBNite project trains 15 PhD students while working towards the development of a new generation of semiconductors, based on renewable organic materials doped with Boron and Nitrogen, for application in electronic devices such as displays, solar cells and transistors.

peri-Acenoacene Ribbons with Zigzag BN-Doped Peripheries

peri-Acenoacene Ribbons with Zigzag BN-Doped Peripheries

In this research paper, STiBNite ESRs Marco Franceschini and Martina Crosta (UNIVIE) present the synthesis and the properties of a series of BN-doped molecular ribbons.

The BN-graphenoids in this study show systematic red-shift of their UV−vis absorption and emission spectra, as well as a decrease in their oxidation potential, upon elongation of the fused aromatic backbone. In addition, the ribbons’ emission shows a Thermally-Activated Delayed Fluorescence (TADF) component. All these properties are highly desirable features to engineer p-type organic semiconductors.

ESR 11 Carolina: Introduction to XPS

ESR 11 Carolina: Introduction to XPS

In this video, ESR 11 Carolina (RUG) explains the principles of X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), state-of-art characterization technique in surface science.

Carolina’s research goal is the on-surface synthesis of BN-doped graphene through photopolimerization and thermal conversion of BNC precursors. XPS is the analytical technique accurate for surface characterization and suitable for all type of synthetic steps.
