Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Molecular Architectures Utilizing Self-assembled Monolayers for Singlet Fission and Light Energy Conversion

Organic-inorganic hybrid molecular architectures utilizing self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of organic chromophores (e.g., acene derivatives) are systematically discussed to examine the photophysical properties together with covalently-linked dimeric and oligomeric forms. Multi-exciton generation (i.e., singlet fission) light energy conversion processes that occur in a reaction site composed chemically modified on surface inorganic nanomaterials such as gold nanocluster, nanorod quantum dot described. covalently linked dots
