As the technological demands of our country continue to evolve, so does the need for new and readily-accessible functional materials that will help to address these challenges. The proposed research program will produce luminescent and semiconducting molecular, polymeric, and self-assembled materials for use in a variety of organic electronics (e.g., sensors, memory devices, light-emitting diodes, field-effect transistors, and solar cells). We will employ our expertise in the creation of novel hybrid architectures that take advantage of the best traits of purely organic materials in combination with the required functionality of inorganic elements through the use of nitrogen-based ligands derived from formazans and hydrazones.******Our program embraces the discovery' theme of this flagship NSERC program, as it offers a broad scope of potentially transformative ideas and a calculated balance of high risk, high reward ventures that will place us at the forefront of our field. We believe that the elements of risk that feature throughout the proposal are justified based on our demonstrated ability to address similar ambitious research challenges, our careful design of the molecular and polymeric targets, and the potential impact that the research outcomes will have on the functional synthetic materials and organic electronics fields. Furthermore, our unique expertise and local infrastructure are ideally suited to the proposed research. Without fundamental advances such as those proposed, innovation and development of future generations of functional materials and organic electronics will simply not be possible.******The proposed program is both multidisciplinary and collaborative. It will provide an excellent training ground for highly qualified personnel (HQP) at the BSc, MSc, and PhD levels. They will work toward the development of guiding principles for the synthesis of hybrid materials, the establishment of detailed structure-property relationships for the luminescent and semiconducting hybrid materials that they produce, and self-assembly protocols that will transform the way materials scientists approach the design of semiconducting polymers. These initiatives will provide a platform for new and continued collaborations with Canadian industry that will directly involve HQP, further increasing the impact of the training experiences created. HQP will graduate with skill sets ideally suited to the Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Sector of the Canadian economy and academia. ********

随着我国的技术需求不断发展，需要新的且易于访问的功能材料的需求也将有助于应对这些挑战。提出的研究计划将生产发光和半导体的分子，聚合物和自组装材料，用于在各种有机电子中使用（例如，传感器，存储器，发光二极管，野外效应晶体管和太阳能电池）。我们将利用我们的专业知识来创建新型混合体系结构，通过使用基于氮的配体来利用纯粹有机材料的最佳特征以及无机元素的所需功能，这些配体从甲氮和氢援助器中得出的基于氮的配体。将我们置于我们领域的最前沿的冒险。我们认为，在整个提案中特征的风险要素是合理的，这是我们所证明的解决类似雄心勃勃的研究挑战的能力，我们对分子和聚合物目标的仔细设计以及研究成果对功能合成材料和有机电子领域的潜在影响。此外，我们独特的专业知识和本地基础设施非常适合拟议的研究。如果没有基本进步，例如提议的进步，就根本不可能创新和发展后代的功能材料和有机电子产品。******拟议的计划既是多学科和协作的。它将为BSC，MSC和PHD水平的高素质人员（HQP）提供良好的训练场。他们将致力于制定合成混合材料的指导原则，建立其产生的发光和半导体混合材料的详细结构 - 质地关系以及自组装协议，这些协议将改变材料科学家的方式，以实现半导体聚合物的设计。这些举措将为与加拿大行业的新和持续合作提供一个平台，该平台将直接涉及HQP，从而进一步增加了培训经验的影响。 HQP将毕业，理想地适合加拿大经济和学术界的先进材料和制造业。 ********
