Keith gives invited lecture at Fpi 16, Jeju, Korea

Keith gave an invited talk at the 16th Fπ symposium.  This is a biennial international event dedicated to diverse aspects of functional materials with π-electrons. Keith talked about Resonance Raman studies of donor-acceptor systems highlighting the challenges in studying these systems including the issues of modeling chrage transfer with density function theory.  The utility of Raman to act as an experimental probe for such calculations was touched upon and Khansa’s recent work (Impact of the Acceptor Group on the Properties of Triphenylamine-Donor–Acceptor Dyes: An Experimental and Computational Study) provided an exemplar of how to navigate these challenging systems.
