Synthetic Strategy for Large Scale Production of Oligothiophenes

Oligothiophenes are important organic electronic materials which can be produced using synthetic intermediates and Suzuki coupling.

Development of organic semiconductors from highly ordered oligo and polythiophenes

The soaring global demand for energy, coupled with the limited supply of fossil fuels, has increased the need for renewable, low-cost energy sources. Organic electronics have shown great promise for applications in lighting, power, and circuitry, with rapidly improving performance already surpassing that of amorphous silicon-based counterparts.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
