U.S.-Sweden Cooperative Research: Determination of the Rate of Charge Transfer by NMR Spectroscopy

9400236 Staley这个为期三年的奖项支持卡内基梅隆大学的Stuart W.Staley和瑞典Umea大学的Bertil Eliasson在有机化学和动力学方面的美国-瑞典合作研究。他们研究的目的是测量各种有机结构单元的电子导电性，这可以被认为是构建“有机导线”的基石。这位美国研究人员为这次合作带来了桥联二环八碳四烯化合物的合成和制备方面的专业知识。这与瑞典在核磁共振波谱方面的专业知识相辅相成。在拟议的项目中，美国团队将使用先进的核磁共振技术(如三重共振)来制备化合物。然后，卡内基-梅隆大学的研究生将使用位于乌梅亚大学的最先进的高场核磁共振光谱仪与瑞典团队进行联合实验。这项研究的结果将与许多活跃的研究领域相关，包括电子转移、导电聚合物和分子电子学。***

9400236 Staley This three-year award supports U.S.-Sweden cooperative research in organic chemistry and dynamics between Stuart W. Staley of Carnegie-Mellon University and Bertil Eliasson of the University of Umea in Sweden. The objective of their research is to measure the electronic conductivities of various organic structural units, which can be thought of as building blocks for "organic wires". The U.S. investigator brings to this collaboration expertise in the synthesis and preparation of bridged dicyclooctatetraenes compounds. This is complemented by Swedish expertise in NMR spectroscopy. In the proposed project, the U.S. group will prepare the compounds using advanced NMR techniques such as triple resonance. Then Carnegie-Mellon graduate students will perform joint experiments with the Swedish group using a state-of-the-art high-field NMR spectrometer located at the University of Umea. The results of this study will be relevant to a number of active research areas, including electron transfer, conducting polymers, and molecular electronics. ***
