Applying Inorganic Synthesis to Gain Access to New Phosphorescent and Nanodimensional Materials
Tuesday, Dec. 6, 2016

C610
All are Welcome
In this presentation, two new research ventures from our group will be discussed. First, the discovery and properties of rare main group element species (tellurophenes) that are phosphorescent in the solid state will be described.1
In the second half of the talk, the use of a general-donor-acceptor protocol to intercept reactive main group hydrides, such as the parent iminoborane HBNH, will be discussed as a possible route to form boron nitride under mild conditions.2
