The mutual attraction between highly fluorinated pi-electron systems and their non-fluorinated counterparts also affords relatively predictable control over bulk self-assembly.  Various research programs have begun to demonstrate the benefits of fluorination, but few capitalize on the unique synthetic pathways offered by fluorinated arenes.   This presentation will describe our efforts to exploit the special properties of fluorinated arenes for the synthesis of organic conjugated polymers and polycyclic aromatic compounds, with a major focus on supramolecular engineering of crystalline and \u0022soft\u0022 materials.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EFor more information contact \u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:david.collard@chemistry.gatech.edu\u0022\u003EDr. David Collard\u003C\/a\u003E (404-894-4026).\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"Prof. Mark Watson, University of Kentucky\n\nCombining Organofluorine and Organic Electronic Materials Chemistry","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Prof. Mark Watson, University of Kentucky"}],"uid":"27275","created_gmt":"2007-03-20 00:00:00","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 01:57:28","author":"Shirley Tomes","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2007-08-30T16:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2007-08-30T17:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2007-08-30T17:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2007-08-30 20:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2007-08-30 21:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2007-08-30 21:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.chem.uky.edu\/research\/watson\/","title":"Prof. Mark Watson, University of Kentucky"}],"groups":[{"id":"85951","name":"School of Chemistry and Biochemistry"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"919","name":"Biochemistry"},{"id":"89","name":"chemistry"},{"id":"3030","name":"molecular"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1789","name":"Conference\/Symposium"}],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cstrong\u003EShirley Tomes\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EChemistry \u0026amp; Biochemistry\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.gatech.edu\/contact\/index.html?id=st81\u0022\u003EContact Shirley Tomes\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E404-894-0591\u003C\/strong\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
