Purdue University received a $450,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation to develop new luminescent molecules for applications in organic light-emitting devices. Under the award, Professor Alexander Wei and his team will synthesize and study rigid metal-azole macrocycles and networks to correlate their structure with luminescent and color-switching properties. Specifically, the researchers aim to: 1) relate azole structure to the rigidochromism of corresponding copper complexes; 2) develop approaches for tuning molecular energy levels of solid-state emitters; and 3) design metal-organic frameworks to align excited-state dipoles for directional emission. In addition to advancing flexible solid-state lighting technologies, the research is intended to convey important chemical concepts to students and the public through educational outreach activities. Funded through the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), this Project Grant supports fundamental materials research in line with the agency's mission to strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise.
