This project is in the general areas of analytical and surface chemistry and inorganic, bioinorganic, and organometallic chemistry and addresses the broad subfield of electron transfer processes. Dr. Hupp, who is supported in the Inorganic, Bioinorgaqnic, and Organometallic Chemistry Program under NSF grant CHE-8710014 and who is also a Presidential Young Investigator awardee in the Analytical and Surface Chemistry Program, is focussing his research efforts on two areas. The first involves the development and characterization of new, electroactive polymeric materials from which large dimension structural arrays will be prepared. These assemblies should enable the three dimensional control of redox site distribution and are expected to be applicable in the technologically important areas of imaging displays and electrocatalysis. Dr. Hupp's second research focus centers on mechanistic studies of photolytically and thermally induced electron transfer reactions. These studies are relevant to an enhanced understanding of light-driven energy conversion processes, particularly those involved in photosynthesis. This present action provides funds for the acquisition of a spectrophotometer with which the ultraviolet, visible, and near- infrared spectral characteristics of species involved in electron transfer processes of interest to Dr. Hupp can be studied. This instrument will be extremely useful to both of Dr. Hupp's NSF- supported research activities.

这个项目是在分析和表面化学以及无机、生物无机和有机金属化学的一般领域，并涉及电子转移过程的宽泛的子领域。Hupp博士是美国国家科学基金会CHE-8710014资助下的无机化学、生物有机化学和金属有机化学计划的资助对象，也是分析和表面化学计划的总统青年研究员奖获得者，他的研究工作集中在两个领域。第一个涉及开发和表征新的电活性聚合物材料，从这些材料将制备出大尺寸的结构阵列。这些组件应该能够三维控制氧化还原部位的分布，并有望在成像显示器和电催化等重要技术领域得到应用。Hupp博士的第二个研究重点是光解和热致电子转移反应的机理研究。这些研究有助于更好地理解光驱动的能量转换过程，特别是涉及光合作用的过程。这一行动为购买分光光度计提供了资金，用它可以研究Hupp博士感兴趣的电子转移过程中涉及的物种的紫外线、可见光和近红外光谱特征。这个仪器将对Hupp博士由NSF资助的两项研究活动非常有用。
