This three-year $500,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program will support the development of novel azadipyrromethene (ADP)-based complexes as solution-processable semiconductors with applications in organic electronics and solar energy conversion. Principal Investigator Genevieve Sauve of Case Western Reserve University will synthesize ADP complexes coordinated with various metals to manipulate molecular geometry and tune optoelectronic properties for use as printable semiconductors. The research aims to provide low-cost, sustainable materials with high electron affinity, excellent charge transport, and absorption in the visible to near-infrared spectrum. Outreach activities will broaden participation of women and minority students in STEM through established mentoring programs at the university. If successful, this work could transform fields like organic electronics, dyes, and solar energy by establishing structure-property relationships for pi-conjugated molecules and polymers.
