My research focuses on the chemistry of photoactive organoboron compounds. The main objective is to understand how specific photoactive properties such as thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF), room temperature phosphorescence (RTP), aggregation-induced emission (AIE), triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA), and photosensitization abilities can be controlled by the structure of the material at both the molecular level and through non-covalent interactions in the solid state. To this end, I have undertaken extensive studies on a new group of organoboron compounds, starting from their design and synthesis to comprehensive physicochemical characterization using various experimental and computational tools. This research also includes the practical utility of the obtained systems as effective photosensitizers for anticancer and antimicrobial photodynamic therapies, water purification, organic catalysis, and the construction of optoelectronic devices such as OLEDs.
