About
Dominic McGrath is a professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Arizona. He holds a B.S. degree from Yale University obtained in 1986 and a Ph.D. from the California Institute of Technology earned in 1992. Following his doctoral studies, he completed postdoctoral research at The Scripps Research Institute from 1992 to 1994 and at Caltech in 1994. His research program involves the use of organic synthesis for the design, development, and application of new concepts in macromolecular, supramolecular, and materials chemistry. His research efforts span various areas in the chemical sciences, including studies of materials for solar energy conversion, macromolecular systems that undergo structural changes in response to visible light and other stimuli, and the influence of dendritic components of nanoscopic systems on phononic and electronic properties of materials.

Improved understanding of charge-transport in single molecules is essential for harnessing the potential of molecules, e.g., as circuit components at the ultimate size limit. However, interpretation and analysis of the large, stochastic data sets produced by most quantum transport experiments remain an ongoing challenge to discovering much-needed structure–property relationships. Here, we introduce segment clustering, a novel unsupervised hypothesis generation tool for investigating single molec…

articleCorrespondingWe demonstrate a molecular design strategy to enhance the efficiency of phthalocyanine (Pc)-based hole-transporting materials (HTMs) in perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Herein, two titanyl phthalocyanine (TiOPc) derivatives are designed and applied as dopant-free HTMs in planar n-i-p-structured PSCs. The newly developed TiOPc compounds possess eight n-hexylthio groups attached to either peripheral (P-SC6-TiOPc) or nonperipheral (NP-SC6-TiOPc) positions of the Pc ring. Utilizing these dopant-free H…
