REDOX-SWITCHABLE NEAR-IR ORGANIC MATERIAL

摘要

Most organic materials used in optoelectronics such as LED or LCD displays function in the ultraviolet or visible region. The unique electrical and optical properties of near-infrared (NIR)-absorbing organic materials, however, may enable their application in fiber-optic telecommunication devices or for photodynamic therapy in medicine. Optoelectronics researchers are particularly interested in switchable molecules that can be used in devices operating in the NIR region.
