Organic semiconductors are carbon-based materials that can conduct electricity and can be used for flexible, lightweight and potentially low-cost electronic devices.

Electrical doping is commonly used in organic optoelectronics to tune the electronic properties. A mechanism using unstable radical anions of p-doping agents increases the hole densities in the organi...

Metal-free ionic liquids that exhibit intense fluorescence in the visible region of over 500 nm in the fluid state remain scarce. Although small π-conjugated frameworks combining electron-donating and...

Lipid droplets provide low-polarity environments, yet their role in regulating supramolecular assembly pathways remains unclear. Here the authors demonstrate that triolein suppresses spontaneous nucle...

Abstract. On the occasion of celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Bulletin of the Chemical Society of Japan (BCSJ), this Account summarizes major topic

For over a century, aryldiazonium halides have served as widely used building blocks within synthetic chemistry. They are vital intermediates in converting simple anilines to high-value products, incl...

Université Laval is recruiting the world's most outstanding scientists to fill Canada Impact+ Research Chair (CI+RC) positions in the following research areas.

Assistant Professor - Biochemistry

Antiaromatic π-electron systems provide unique electronic features arising from the cyclic conjugation of 4n π-electrons, yet synthetic access to strongly antiaromatic heteroarene-fused scaffolds rema...

Despite a history spanning over a century, cumulenes are often relegated to the realm of perceived curiosities rather than practical synthetic intermediates as result of their high intrinsic reactivit...

Over the past ∼15 years our group has performed multiple structure/properties relationship studies to assess how logical structural refinement can affect the antiaromaticity/diradicaloid continuum. Us...
