DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nPolycyclic heteroerotic molecules are a widely use
 d as electronic materials.1 The N-annulated perylene diimide (NPDI) chromo
 phore is one such compound proven useful in constructing functional materi
 als.2 Utility of this dye in the field of organic electronics was sparse u
 ntil our team re-introduced it as a useful building block for which to con
 struct electron acceptors for organic photovoltaics.3 N-annulation of the 
 PDI chromophore destabilize the frontier molecular orbital energy levels a
 llowing for high voltage solar cell devices4 to be made and use as an elec
 tron reservoir in small molecule catalysis.5 An extra site for side-chain 
 installation dramatically increases materials solubility\, directs self-as
 sembly\, and allows for water soluble conjugated ionic salts to be readily
  formed. This presentation will highlight our teams work developing N-annu
 lated perylene diimide derivatives to deliver green solvent\, roll-to-roll
  compatible processed electronic devices.6-8\n\n \n\nBio:\n\nDr. Gregory W
 elch obtained his BSc in Chemistry from the University of Calgary in 2003 
 and worked in the laboratories of Dr. Chivers and Dr. Piers. He earned his
  PhD at the University of Windsor in 2008 under the supervision of Dr. Ste
 phan where he helped develop Frustrated Lewis Pair chemistry. He then move
 d to UC-Santa Barbara\, where he studied organic solar cells as a NSERC po
 stdoctoral fellow with Dr. Bazan.\n\n \n\nHe began a faculty position in 2
 012 as a Canadian Research Chair at Dalhousie University in Halifax\, NS. 
 In 2015 he relocated to the University of Calgary as a Canadian Research C
 hair. His research interests are focused on the design\, synthesis and cha
 racterization of organic/organometallic materials and use in printed elect
 ronics\, coatings and catalysis. He was promoted to full professor in 2021
 . He enjoys raising his kids\, heavy metal music\, tanks\, home renovation
 s\, and landscaping.\n
