Prof. M. J. Fuchter: "Maximising dissymmetry and handling directionality in chiral materials"

Organisch-chemisches Kolloquium

The Institute of Organic Chemistry invites to the lecture of

Prof. Matthew J. Fuchter, Imperial College London

who will be talking about

 "Maximising dissymmetry and handling directionality in chiral materials"

Abstract: "We have an ongoing interest in the development of conjugated chiral molecules which can emit and detect circularly-polarized light within thin film materials and in organic electronic devices. Using a range of chiral materials – helicenes, fullerenes and polymers – this talk will give an overview of our strategies to maximise the selectivity of such chiral-optical responses through molecular design, materials processing and device architecture".
