Ce colloque annuel est d’envergure internationale, tout en favorisant l’expression en langue française. Il rassemble chaque année, pendant une semaine et sur un même site, entre 50 et 80 chimistes professionnels (académiques et industriels, français et étrangers) autour d’une douzaine de conférenci.ères invités prestigieux. Ces hôtes invités présentent leurs travaux les plus marquants lors d’une conférence d’environ une heure. Les participant.es inscrit.es, pour leur part, exposent en 15 minutes leurs travaux les plus récents lors de communications orales. Les thèmes abordés au cours du GECO sont très variés et allient la recherche fondamentale et ses applications en réponse aux défis sociétaux (santé, nutrition, énergie, environnement). Ils incluent systématiquement la synthèse de molécules naturelles et d’analogues, la catalyse, l’étude de nouvelles réactions chimiques et de nouvelles approches technologiques, l’étude de nouveaux modes d’interactions à l’échelle moléculaire et supramoléculaire, l’application de la chimie organique à la biologie, au développement de nouveaux matériaux et à l’énergie. Le concept de développement durable est également une constante des travaux qui sont présentés. En parallèle de ces échanges scientifiques intenses, un temps significatif est réservé à des activités extérieures permettant d'établir des contacts, souvent à l’origine de futures collaborations entre les participant(e)s.

The French American Chemical Society (FACS) is a completely volunteer, non-profit organization that was informally established in 1986 by Pr. E. J. Corey (Harvard University Professor and Nobel Prize recipient) and the late Dr. Pierre Potier (Director of the Institute of Natural Products Chemistry, ICSN, in Gif-sur-Yvette, France) to promote organic chemistry in its broadest sense and also the scientific interactions between France, United States and Canada. FACS conferences present recent advances in organic synthesis which are of keen interest to academic and industry-based researchers. Our biennial conferences alternate between well-chosen sites in France and the USA.
For the 19th edition of FACS, 18 French and 18 American and Canadian speakers are invited to share with the public the latest developments in their research into organic synthesis in the broadest sense. We intend to cover catalytic and/or asymmetric synthesis, total synthesis of natural products, organometallic chemistry, new modes of chemical activation, medicinal chemistry, agrochemistry and process research. Particular attention was paid to balancing the program between well-established participants and young associate professors and industrial chemists. In addition, we have opened the Symposium to PhD students at special rates.

The 3rd HiFunMat summer school is dedicated to the transdisciplinary theme 'the environment'.

Preservation of the environment is crucial, as it is becoming increasingly clear that it determines the future of our societies and survival on Earth.  The 2024 summer school will offer an overview of developments in research on this theme. From analysis systems for measuring water and air pollution to ecological restoration, hydrogeological studies, chemical, physico-chemical, photochemical and biological methods of depollution, recycling and recovery of pollutants, materials are omnipresent, at different scales.

The programme, spread over 3 and a half days, has been designed to reflect the diversity of techniques developed by scientists to analyse, preserve and repair the environment and eco-systems, and to understand the degree of mastery, progress and scope of these different techniques. It includes an introductory day aimed at anchoring these technical developments in a broader societal reflection on sustainable development. This day will cover the sociological, economic and legal aspects, as well as the concepts of the circular economy and eco-design, in order to explain the challenges and levers for innovation.

Through the extensive R&D of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) for more than 30 years, plenty of well-elaborated novel organic optoelectronic materials and device architectures have been extensively developed, resulting in the unique commercial utilization of OLEDs for cutting-edge smartphones, large-area TVs, and further new future display applications by taking advantage of light-weight and flexibility.

From the aspect of materials science, the creation of novel light-emitting materials in OLEDs has been the central issue aimed at high electroluminescence quantum efficiency (EQE). Starting from the development of conventional fluorescence materials (1st generation) during 1990-2000th, the room-temperature phosphorescence (2000-) (2nd generation) and thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) (2012-) (3rd generation) continuously pioneered the novel possibilities of organic emitters, resulted in not only high-performance OLEDs but also enriched organic photochemistry. Recently, there have been a wide variety of studies on TADF-OLEDs because of the unlimited possibilities of TADF molecular design. Further, hyperfluorescence (HP)-OLEDs have been developed since they can realize the compatibility of high efficiency and narrow spectral width, which is ideal for practical display applications.

Here we report our recent cutting-edge HP-OLEDs demonstrating high OLED performance by optimizing host, TADF, and terminal emitter (TE) molecules1-3). In particular, we focus on the blue-emission, which can show narrow FWHM and high EL quantum yield. Blue HP-OLEDs based on two new TEs are fabricated, resulting in high external quantum efficiency (EQE) of over 20%, high color purity, and high brightness. By analyzing the transient PL characteristics of the HP-OLEDs, we found the presence of efficient FRET between TADF-assistant dopant (TADF-AD) and TE molecules. Further, transient EL analysis confirmed that a smaller EHOMO difference between TADF-AD and TE efficiently helps to decrease hole trapping inside the emitting layer, hence resulting in a lower efficiency rolloff and a longer operational device lifetime. This report provides a designing principle for a TADF and TE in HP-OLEDs with well-matched energy levels, leading to efficient FRET and no significant carrier trapping.

In his talk, Adachi will mention the importance of the charge transfer (CT) phenomenon in designing high-performance organic luminescent molecules in OLEDs. Also, CT issues play a crucial role in maximizing the device's operation. Further, he will outlook the prospect of advanced CT technologies.
