The legacy of academic excellence at SSCU continues to flourish. My two younger colleagues Awadhesh Narayan Vivek Tiwari published seminal papers in PNAS 1.pnas.org 2.pnas.org Very proud to chair this academically excellent unit.

Admissions to IISc PhD and PG Programs is extended to 25th March. Do Apply to SSCU [sscu.iisc.ac.in]. Our faculty works on topics related to molecular materials, batteries, solar cell spectroscopy, and Nanomaterials.

My PhD student Sanchari Debnath twisted chemical bonds to realize TADF properties in molecular semiconductors. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Delighted to celebrate Professor Awadesh Narayan from our department for receiving the prestigious Indian National Science Academy (INSA) award. His dedication is truly inspiring.🤩🥳 Awadhesh Narayan IISc Bangalore

Congratulations to Sanchari Debnath and Aisworika Mohanty for deciphering ICT dynamics in new fluoranthenes from Satish Patil group J. Mater. Chem. family C. The TA data from Aisworika Mohanty enabled us to watch the photoinduced structural relaxation😀 pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

We demonstrate direct photoexcitation of dark 1TT as a general phenomenon across a range of pentacene derivatives. nature.com/articles/s4155… These findings are important steps towards the realization of quantum computing and quantum sensing using entangled multiple qubits.

Excited to share our recent findings at linkedin.com/posts/oeg-iisc…

Excited to announce that SSCU is hosting the Indo-French Laboratory of Solid-State Chemistry Workshop from Oct 7-9, 2024! A great opportunity to foster collaboration between India and France, connecting scientists and strengthening research in Solid State Chemistry. #IFLaSc

On #ChemComm60, we present a historic regional collection highlighting 60 of the most cited articles from researchers in India. Join us in revisiting some of the papers that made ChemComm one of your most trusted venues for publication. Access 📚 here buff.ly/3zN3gd7

Some individuals truly embody the qualities of a higher spirit, and Ratan Tata is one of them. His contributions to nation-building and institutions like IISc are immeasurable. As a nation, we will forever cherish his humility and kindness. Rest in peace, Ratan-Ji!

The Acetylene Bridge in Intramolecular Singlet Fission: A Boon or A Nuisance? We lay down a simple design perspective on the role of the acetylene bridge in SF, a commonly used motif in acene dimers in Angew. Chem onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10…

The realization of Near-IR electrochromism in conjugated polymers requires further investigation. In our study, we explored the role of polaron delocalization length in DPP-based conjugated polymers. Our studies appeared in onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…

First Day of SSCU Unit day and in-house symposium concluded. We were elated to have the founder of the unit, Bharatratna Prof. C.N.R. Rao with us along with Mrs. Indumati Rao, Prof. G. Rangarajan and Prof. G. Mugesh. (1/n)

The realization of stable radical cations in donor-acceptor molecular materials is a daunting task. In our recent studies, we demonstrated a rational design strategy using diketopyrrolopyrrole-based materials to achieve stable radical cations. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Achieving both thermally activated delayed fluorescence and triplet-triplet annihilation in organic materials holds significant promise for advancing the performance of OLEDs. We demonstrate that these processes coexist. A full text at URL: rdcu.be/effdB

Our long-standing work on DPP polymers led us to an exciting finding, such as Mixed Ionic–Electronic Conductors. Our recent paper presents an overview of this and a forward-looking perspective. doi.org/10.1021/acsael… Stay tuned for future research updates from our group.
