Data-Driven Discovery of Organic Electronic Materials Enabled by Hybrid Top-Down/Bottom-Up Design

Rubén Laplaza Solanas, Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Sergio Vela Llausi, Jacob Terence Blaskovits

The high-throughput exploration and screening of molecules for organic electronics involves either a 'top-down' curation and mining of existing repositories, or a 'bottom-up' assembly of user-defined fragments based on known synthetic templates. Both are t ...

cell2mol: encoding chemistry to interpret crystallographic data

Rubén Laplaza Solanas, Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Sergio Vela Llausi, Yuri Cho

The creation and maintenance of crystallographic data repositories is one of the greatest data-related achievements in chemistry. Platforms such as the Cambridge Structural Database host what is likely the most diverse collection of synthesizable molecules ...

OSCAR: an extensive repository of chemically and functionally diverse organocatalysts

Rubén Laplaza Solanas, Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Puck Elisabeth van Gerwen, Alberto Fabrizio, Sergio Vela Llausi, Simone Gallarati

The automated construction of datasets has become increasingly relevant in computational chemistry. While transition-metal catalysis has greatly benefitted from bottom-up or top-down strategies for the curation of organometallic complexes libraries, the fi ...

Donor-Acceptor-Donor "Hot Exciton" Triads for High Reverse Intersystem Crossing in OLEDs

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Sergio Vela Llausi, Maria Fumanal Quintana, Yanan Zhu

Hot exciton materials have the potential to improve the quantum efficiency of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) by promoting high reversed intersystem crossing (hRISC) between a high-lying triplet (T-n, n >= 2) and a radiative singlet (S-m). In recent ...

Learning the Exciton Properties of Azo-dyes

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Ksenia Briling, Alberto Fabrizio, Sergio Vela Llausi

The ab initio determination of electronic excited state (ES) properties is the cornerstone of theoretical photochemistry. Yet, traditional ES methods become impractical when applied to fairly large molecules, or when used on thousands of systems. Machine l ...

Heteroatom oxidation controls singlet-triplet energy splitting in singlet fission building blocks

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Sergio Vela Llausi, Yuri Cho, Maria Fumanal Quintana, Jacob Terence Blaskovits

Singlet fission (SF) is a promising multiexciton-generating process. Its demanding energy splitting criterion - that the S-1 energy must be at least twice that of T-1 - has limited the range of materials capable of SF. We propose heteroatom oxidation as a ...

Thermal spin crossover in Fe(ii) and Fe(iii). Accurate spin state energetics at the solid state

Sergio Vela Llausi, Maria Fumanal Quintana

The thermal spin crossover (SCO) phenomenon refers to an entropy-driven spin transition in some materials based on d(6)-d(9) transition metal complexes. While its molecular origin is well known, intricate SCO behaviours are increasingly common, in which th ...

Tuning the Thermal Stability and Photoisomerization of Azoheteroarenes through Macrocycle Strain**

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Alan Scheidegger, Sergio Vela Llausi, Raimon Fabregat I De Aguilar-Amat

Azobenzene and its derivatives are one of the most widespread molecular scaffolds used in a range of modern applications, as well as in fundamental research. After photoexcitation, azo-based photoswitches revert back to the most stable isomer on a timescal ...

Reversible Magnetic Transition in a Bench-Stable Radical Cation Triggered by Structural Transition in the Magnetically Silent Counteranion

Sergio Vela Llausi

Fabrication of bench-stable radical ions under ambient conditions is of utmost significance from the perspective of materials and structural (solid-state) chemistry. Two exceptionally stable benzotriazinyl radical cationic salts of 1-phenyl-3(phenylamino)- ...

Structure:function relationships for thermal and light-induced spin-crossover in isomorphous molecular materials

Sergio Vela Llausi

Isomorphous [FeL2]BF4center dot solv and [FeL2]ClO4center dot solv (L = 4-{isopropylsulfanyl}-2,6-di{pyrazol-1-yl}pyridine; solv = MeNO2, MeCN, 0.67Me(2)CO or H2O) exhibit a variety of thermal spin-crossover (SCO) behaviours. This complexity exte ...
