Project/Grant title
“Approaching 20% emission efficiency in the NIR-II region with radical chromophores”
ERC Advanced Grant – “ARCHIMEDES”
Job description
Description of tasks: The overarching goal of this project is to uncover a strategy to create radicals which at the same time: (a) strongly emit light in the NIR-II region; (b) are stable under ambient conditions; (c) strongly absorb light; (d) display large circularly polarized luminescence. The primary objective of ARCHIMEDES is to deliver breakthrough organic materials possessing large fluorescence quantum yields and stable radical structures in the integrated fields of molecular design, chromophore synthesis and fluorescence imaging of living cells. The realization of ARCHIMEDES will be based on both expanding the chemical space of stable, emissive C-centered radicals and on heretofore nonexisting emissive nitroxide radicals. The synergistic effects of increased brightness of NIR-II dyes and the higher sensitivity and resolution offered by CPL fluorophores will provide quality fluorescence imaging on a previously unthinkable level.
