Title of the PhD project:
Chiral lanthanide complexes with strong CPL activity for chiral OLEDs

Abstract of the PhD project:
Circularly polarised light (CPL) is paramount to many current and future technologies. Devices which emit such polarised light have great importance for emerging technologies such as, stereoscopic [3D] displays, enhanced bandwidth optical communication and in vivo imaging. Synthesis of novel luminescent Ln(III) complexes incorporating chiral ligands to introduce the desired circular polarisation will be explored, accompanied with computational studies in order to design the most suitable ligands. Above all, the chiroptical properties, such as electronic and vibrational circular dichroism (ECD, VCD) and most importantly circularly polarised luminescence (CPL) will be measured. The effectiveness of such complexes will be evaluated by the brightness, newly adapted for comparing CPL (BCPL). BCPL consists of the product of the emission quantum yield (φ), extinction coefficient (ελ) at the excitation wavelength (λ), and the dissymmetry factor (glum). The BCPL value will allow for quick and efficient comparison of the emissive complexes.
