This Minority Research Planning Grant will enable Dr. Leslie Jimenez to intiate a research program studying azobenzene and anthracene cyclophanes as potential photo driven on-off switches. The work will consist of the synthesis of cyclophane host molecules containing photosensitive functional groups. It will also involve determining the association constants and free energies of compelxation of the two photoisomeric forms of each host with various positively charged guest molecules. The objective of the work is to develop a host that will form strong complexes with guests when in one state but not when it is in the other. %%% Support from this program will enable Dr. Jimenez to establish a research program studying molecules which have the ability to interact strongly with certain other species when in one photochemical state but weakly when in the other state. Such work can have major significance to the development of microelectronic circuits.

这项少数派研究计划拨款将使 Leslie Jimenez 博士能够启动一项研究计划，研究偶氮苯和蒽环烷作为潜在的光驱动开关。这项工作包括合成含有光敏官能团的环芳主体分子。它还涉及确定每种主体的两种光异构形式与各种带正电的客体分子络合的缔合常数和自由能。这项工作的目标是培养一位主人，他在一种状态下会与客人形成强烈的情结，但在另一种状态下却不会。 %%% 该计划的支持将使 Jimenez 博士能够建立一个研究计划，研究具有在一种光化学状态下与某些其他物种强烈相互作用但在另一种光化学状态下较弱相互作用的能力的分子。这些工作对于微电子电路的发展具有重大意义。
