Abstract

This award is given in partial support of an ACS Symposium on "Light-Emitting, Light-Harvesting, and Light-Responding Organic Systems" at the ACS National Meeting, San Francisco, CA, March 26-31, 2000. This symposium will address the fundamental issues, preparation, and applications of organic materials and devices. Three major areas will be in focus: (1) Light-emitting materials and devices - photo -and electroluminescent materials for information technology; (2) Light-harvesting materials and evices - wavelength-shifting and photovoltaic materials and devices for new energy sources; (3) Light-responding materials and devices - nonlinear optical and photo-refractive materials, photoactive materials for chemical sensing and information technology, liquid crystals, and photonic bandgap materials.
