Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (NMR) is a methodology that brings together an impressive amount of techniques that can be used for numerous applications in basic, applied science and technological development. For example, there are very high resolution and correlation techniques for the determination of complex structures such as those present in extracts from natural sources (p…
Efficient light absorption and charge separation in molecular systems are crucial events in organic photovoltaic devices and photo-induced reactions, often performed by associations of electron Donor (D) and Acceptor (A) molecular units. We aim to build an interdisciplinary research team focused on the development and understanding of charge separating molecular systems using experimental…
The obtainment of clean and renewable energy through silicon solar cells is part of everyday society, being seen in homes and large-scale plants. However, the general public is unaware of the revolutions happening in the development of organic solar cells, capable of ``imitating'' some mechanisms of living systems and obtaining energy in low-light environments in lightweight and portable …
The mechanisms that lead to efficient charge separation in donor-acceptor molecular systems are not fully established yet. They might be related to electronic states that are above the charge transfer state or boosted by local dielectric screening. Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TDDFT) is an excellent tool to investigate these systems, especially when large multimolecular syste…

The design and preparation of low bandgap molecular systems is a crucial step towards the implementation of organic electronic and photovoltaic applications. In particular, pi-conjugated systems exhibit bandgap lowering as building blocks with different electron affinities are associated. In this scientific initiation plan the candidate will synthesize phenothiazine oligomers by interfaci…
We propose new donor-acceptor units as light harvesting heterojunctions systems and their host-guest systems, aiming higher performance and device lifetime. Thus, phenothiazine oligomers will be used as donor (D) units and S,N-heteroacene oligomers as acceptor (A) units. Host-guest systems will be prepared in silica, sodium-aluminum silicate, phenyl-silicate, and Naphthalenediimide-silica…

Organic photovoltaic devices are often composed of low bandgap molecular systems forming donor-acceptor heterojunctions. The design of more efficient and durable devices is highly guided by the reliable description of their electronic and optical properties. Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Time-Dependent DFT (TD-DFT) are among the most used approaches to theoretically predict these pr…
