Abstract

What do you consider to be the challenging developments in this field? The development of novel materials for organic light‐emitting diodes and photovoltaic devices is currently one of the hottest topics in chemistry and materials science. Many of these materials, however, will never have the chance to be implemented into a practical device owing to poor long term stability, low efficiency, and poor processability. Thus, extensive interdisciplinary basic research is necessary to understand and finally overcome these fundamental limitations. 1 Scheme Katharina Christina Kreß 2 Scheme Dr. Thomas Fischer 3 Scheme Dr. Joachim Stumpe 4 Scheme Dr. Wolfgang Frey 5 Scheme Dr. Melanie Raith 6 Scheme Omid Beiraghi 7 Scheme Prof. Dr. S.
