PhD candidate Uliana Tsiko from Kaunas University of Technology has recently completed a six-month secondment at CreaPhys in Dresden.
During her secondment she worked on the design, synthesis and characterisation of TADF emitters. This involved purifying the synthesized materials using column chromatography, recrystallisation and vacuum sublimation.
Her main achievement during her stay was to design and synthesise a new family of materials with donor-acceptor or donor-acceptor-donor structure containing thianthrene as a donor and different acceptors, such as pyridine, isonicotinonitrile, pyrimidine and pyrimidine-5-carbonitrile. The chemical structures of the new derivatives were confirmed by NMR and mass spectroscopy.
Uliana's stay in Dresden also gave her a welcome opportunity to visit local cultural heritage sites.
