SCOPUS IDResearch Overview
Our research interest mainly focuses on the molecular design, synthesis, and excited states tuning of novel triplet excited state-utilizable emitters including phosphorescent transition-metal complexes (e.g., Ir(III), Pt(II), Mn(II) complexes, etc.), thermally activated delayed fluorescent compounds, and hybridized local and charge-transfer materials for optoelectronics.
