Research Interests

Our research activities are centered at the development of (1) synthetic methodology of π-conjugated systems; (2) low-viscous, nonvolatile organic dyes with tailored photophysical functions; (3) chiral molecules with amplified chiral response by the implementation of supramolecular interactions.

Methods and Techniques

Organic synthesis, non-covalent synthesis. 1D and 2D NMR, MS, GPC, HPLC, UV/Vis, emission spectroscopy, ECD, CPL, CV, DSC, TGA, POM, and FT-IR.

Background and Motivation

The main research thrust of the group is the development of novel liquid and/or chiral materials with tailored physical properties by the combination of molecular engineering with supramolecular and materials chemistry. Our concept is expected to provide a new class of easy-processable multifunctional dyes with superior activity in optoelectronic devices.
