Contemporary demand for renewable and clean energy as well as energy-efficient products has seen boron playing key roles in energy-related research, such as 1) activating and synthesizing energy-rich small molecules, 2) storing chemical and electrical energy, and 3) converting electrical energy into light. These applications are fundamentally associated with boron's unique characteristics, such as its electron-deficiency and the availability of an unoccupied p orbital, which allow the formation of a myriad of compounds with a wide range of chemical and physical properties. For example, boron's ability to achieve a full octet of electrons with four covalent bonds and a negative charge has led to the synthesis of a wide variety of borate anions of high chemical and electrochemical stability—in particular, weakly coordinating anions. This Review summarizes recent advances in the study of boron compounds for energy-related processes and applications.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Bunzmann2021, author = {Bunzmann, Nikolai Eberhard}, title = {Excited State Pathways in 3rd Generation Organic Light-Emitting Diodes}, doi = {10.25972/OPUS-22078}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-220786}, school = {Universit{\"a}t W{\"u}rzburg}, year = {2021}, abstract = {This work revealed spin states that are involved in the light generation of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) that are based on thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF). First, several donor:acceptor-based TADF systems forming exciplex states were investigated. Afterwards, a TADF emitter that shows intramolecular charge transfer states but also forms exciplex states with a proper donor molecule was studied. The primary experimental technique was electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), in particular the advanced methods electroluminescence detected magnetic resonance (ELDMR), photoluminescence detected magnetic resonance (PLDMR) and electrically detected magnetic resonance (EDMR). Additional information was gathered from time-resolved and continuous wave photoluminescence measurements.}, subject = {Elektronenspinresonanz}, language = {en} }
