Boron Subphthalocyanines as Organic Electronic Materials – A Review Article
October 3rd, 2012 by benderOur review of boron subphthalocyanines as organic electronic materials has been published ASAP by ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces.
Our review article can be found here: http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/am3015197
This review article is the summation of a lot of hard work on Graham’s part. A congratulations is extended to him. Good luck with the new job!
We have paid the ACS Author’s choice fee to make the review article open access. We hope you enjoy the read!
We also have been awarded the cover image, stay tuned!
A comparison of Halo Boron Subphthalocyanines.
October 3rd, 2012 by benderOur paper where we directly compare the three halo boron subphthalocyanines (F-BsubPc, Cl-BsubPc and Br-BsubPc) has been published.
A link to the article can be found here:
http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/je3005112
Key findings include: F-BsubPc is hydrolytically stable and that each halo-BsubPc is nearly equivalent in solid state arrangement (single crystals), electrochemical behaviour and in spectroscopic properties.
A well done is extended to Mabel and her coauthors for a terrific contribution.
1st Boron Subphthalocyanine Polymer!
October 2nd, 2012 by benderOur paper concerning the first example of a boron subphthalocyanine polymer has been published ASAP in Macromolecules.
The full paper can be found here: http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ma301247p
Congratualtions to Jeremy for their hard work on obtaining these polymers. Congratulations also goes to their coauthors Benoit, Andrew and Eli. Well done to all, this has been a long time coming.

Organic Materials For Electronic Devices
June 19th, 2010 by benderMy primary academic interest lies within the nanometer level design, synthesis and engineering of new organic materials which can function in electronic devices such as organic solar cells, organic light emitting diodes and organic thin film transistors. I do not limit myself to concepts in either small molecules or macromolecules (polymers) but rather explore both. Underlying my research is the need to explore and understand the physical processes and properties of the novel materials we design. I consider my interests to span from the fundamental to the applied and even into development and commercialization. For example were applicable, I am interested in the development of environmentally friendly and responsible chemical processes which yield our novel materials or their chemical precursors or intermediates.
