Background
This is an EPSRC-funded postdoctoral position in the group of Dr Barendt in the School of Chemistry at the University of Birmingham.
The aim of the project is to prepare and analyse novel dye-based supramolecular donor-acceptor systems, including mechanically interlocked molecules, that exhibit charge transfer for organic optoelectronics. This work builds on our recent work of macrocycles that exhibit through-space electronic communication between organic dye components as seen here: J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2022, 144, 12290.
Expertise in synthetic organic chemistry is essential, while skills in supramolecular chemistry, organic dye chemistry, photophysics and electrochemistry are also desirable. Candidates must have, or about to be awarded, a PhD in synthetic chemistry.
