Delving into Group 16 – Increasing the Accessibility and Understanding the Optoelectronic Properties of Tellurophenes
DownloadFall 2020
This Thesis describes the investigation of 5-membered heterocycles that contain the heavy atom tellurium (Te), termed tellurophenes, as light emitting materials or the active (light absorbing) component in organic photovoltaics. A particular focus was placed on developing new routes to synthesize...
