Research Interest |
| The interdisciplinary research conducted in our laboratory aims to create organic solids with novel physical and chemical functions and focuses on two aspects: (1) electronic and optoelectronic applications of organic semiconductors, and (2) chemical reactions in molecular crystals. To apply organic molecules in electronic and optoelectronic devices, we design and synthesize novel organic semiconductors, control molecular assembly in solid state, fabricate organic electronic devices and characterize device performance to gain a deeper understanding of the relationship between structures and functions. We are interested in chemical reactions occurring in molecular crystals because the molecular conformations and arrangements are fixed in the crystals. With tools of organic synthesis and crystal engineering, we tune the molecular structures and molecular packing to achieve products with structures and reaction selectivities that can not be realized by conventional reactions in solution. |
