Towards All-Boron Electronics (B05)

• Subject Area: Organic Molecular Chemistry - Synthesis and Characterisation
• Term: since 2026
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 551403841

Project B05 “Towards All-Boron Electronics” will employ selected different types of B-based units as (i)bridges, (ii) electron donors, (iii) and/or acceptors following the leading design concept of molecular materials for optoelectronic devices. This incorporation of boron will combine the advantages of the element’s easy and cheap availability and its ability to act as electron donating and electron accepting unit, depending on its specific incorporation into an organic framework. The focus during the first funding period will be on the investigation of boron cluster-based building blocks.
