Advanced Organic Electronic Materials Chemistry

 GARY JAMES RICHARDS
Course content
This course introduces the student to the fascinating and diverse topic of Organic Electronic Materials from the perspective of the chemist. We will cover some basic device physics and principles of operation of organic electronic devices such as Organic Light Emitting Displays (OLEDs) and Organic Photovoltaics (OPVs), but as a course aimed at chemistry students, more focus will be given to the types of compounds used in organic electronics, tuning their properties, their synthesis and purification.
Purpose of class
This class aims to prepare chemistry students to pursue research and development in the field of Organic Electronic Materials. Students will learn about the kinds of compounds used in organic electronics, how to tune their properties through molecular design and the kind of reactions used in their synthesis. Students will also gain an understanding of the basic principles of operation of some important organic electronics technologies such as OLEDs and OPVs.
Goals and objectives
  1. Understand the basic principles of operation behind some important organic electronics technologies such as OLEDs and OPVs.
  2. Learn how to tune the properties of organic electronic materials, for example, how to increase solubility, how to tune electronic properties and so on through molecular design.
  3. Learn about some of the reactions used in the synthesis of organic electronic materials and techniques used for their purification.
