Recent research in the area of functional pi-conjugated materials has shown that the incorporation of heteroelements - main group elements such as B, Si, Se, Te, and P in particular - is an efficient strategy to obtain organic materials with intriguing properties for a host of different practical applications.<br/>Our group’s research program deals with the development of fused phosphacyclic pi-conjugated compounds that have recently attracted significant attention due their unique electronic properties, that is, their enhanced electron-acceptor features in particular. This presentation will highlight our efforts in designing and synthesizing viologen-inspired organophosphorus building blocks, and exploring their utility in a series of advanced functional materials, particularly with a focus toward highly sought-after electron-acceptor materials and their practical application in electrochromic devices and batteries.
