Synthesis of Helical Aromatic Hydrocarbons

螺旋芳烃具有作为新型碳基材料的巨大潜力，因此在学术和工业实验室中都是重要的化合物。 现代电子产品中的许多OLED显示器（屏幕）中都含有碳基材料。在加拿大施乐研究中心的无限制赠款和实物支助的资助下，我们的实验室正在进行一项研究工作，以开发制造新材料的新方法并研究其性能。 拟议的方法将侧重于制定一项综合战略，利用普通家用灯泡的光。 因此，新材料可以使用环境友好且易于规模化的方法来制造。 这将使新材料的研究准备和加速新的碳基材料的发现。 这将为加拿大的技术部门带来直接利益，并使加拿大的技术/电子行业持续增长，从而推动经济的整体增长。

Helical aromatic hydrocarbons have significant potential as new carbon-based materials and are thus important compounds in both academic and industrial laboratories. Carbon-based materials are found in many of the OLED displays (screens) found in modern electronics. Funded with an unrestricted grant and in-kind support from the Xerox Research Centre of Canada, a research effort is being pursued in our laboratories to develop new ways of making novel materials and to investigate their properties. The proposed approach will focus on developing a synthetic strategy that utilizes light from common household light bulbs. Thus, new materials can be manufactured using environmentally benign and easily scaled methods. This will allow the preparation of new materials for study and speed up the discovery of new carbon-based materials. This would result in direct benefits for the technology sector of Canada and continued growth of the technology/electronics industry within Canada, leading to overall boosts in the economy.
