DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nLiving\, chain-growth methods for synthesizing con
 jugated polymers have the potential to access to new materials with varyin
 g sequences\, lengths and end-groups. We recently used these methods to sy
 nthesize conjugated materials with random\, block and gradient sequences o
 f a poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) backbone and side-chain fullerenes (PC61
 BM). These polymers were evaluated as compatibilizers in photovoltaic devi
 ces with P3HT:PC61BM as the active layer. Devices containing the random co
 polymer exhibited higher and more stable power conversion efficiencies tha
 n the control device\, representing a promising new scaffold for stabilizi
 ng bulk heterojunction photovoltaics. In addition\, this presentation will
  discuss our recent computational and experimental efforts to expand these
  synthetic methods to more structurally complex monomers (e.g.\, thienothi
 ophene)\, which revealed new reaction pathways.\n\nBio:\n\nProf. Anne McNe
 il is the Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Chemistry and Macromolecular Scie
 nce and Engineering\, as well as an HHMI Professor\, at the University of 
 Michigan. Her research spans organometallic catalysis\, redox active small
  molecules\, sustainable and degradable polymers. She has won numerous awa
 rds for excellence in both teaching and research. Her most recent awards a
 re being inducted as a Fellow into the AAAS and a Guggenheim Fellowship.\n
