This project, creating high tech self-sustaining operations in the field of photodynamics (the study of change associated with the interaction of light and matter), will assemble state-of-the-art facilities and involve faculty in various stages of their careers. South Dakota has made a conscious effort to develop a critical mass of researchers in this area; the effort involves four researchers at the University of South Dakota (USD) and two at South Dakota State University (SDSU), all in the Department of Chemistry. So far this group has had an important impact on the science and technology infrastructure. With funds from NSF, the Petroleum Research Fund, the Department of Defense, private-sector alliances, university sources, and the South Dakota EPSCoR program, some facilities have been added such as two lasers (one nitrogen and one YAG), an x-ray diffractometer, a closed-cycle cryostat, and a laser-based short-lifetime fluorescence spectrophotometer. This project aims at increasing the scholarly activities and promoting the group into the realm of national recognition by providing some necessary additional infrastructure to coalesce this group into a collaborative team that is capable of national competitiveness. As first priority in the development, the Center will increase interaction between existing membership by bringing in distinguished faculty as part of a lecture series, as well as through a visiting scholar program. Other goals include summer symposium support, the augmentation of a faculty start-up package, and the enhancement of graduate and undergraduate research in photodynamics. Nine detailed project descriptions are provided:A Complementary Experimental and Theoretical Study of Energy Transfer Mechanisms for Isolated Lanthanide(III)-Ion Pairs in CsM(II)X3 Hosts,Photodynamics Studies of a Novel Anion-Sensing System,Studies of the Mechanisms of Photoisomerization of Cinnamamides, Thiocinnamamides, and Related Compounds,Studies of the Photofragmentation of Naphthalimide Dyes,Studies of the Complexation of Derivatized Cyclem and Cyclam,Mapping the Excited State Decay Dynamics in a Coupled Lanthanide System,Excited-State Properties of Bimetallic Complexes Containing Cu(II) and Ru(II) Fragments,Molecular Beam Studies of the Decay Dynamics of Isolated Lanthanide Compounds, andPhotoinduced Electron Transfer in Chelating Quinone-Bipyridine Complexes.

该项目在光动力学（研究与光与物质相互作用有关的变化）领域创造了高科技的自我维持运作，将汇集最先进的设施，并让处于职业生涯不同阶段的教师参与其中。南达科他州有意识地努力培养这一领域的研究人员；这项工作涉及南达科他州立大学（SDSU）和南达科他州立大学（USD）的四名研究人员，他们都在化学系。迄今为止，这一群体对科学技术基础设施产生了重要影响。在美国国家科学基金会、石油研究基金、国防部、私营部门联盟、大学资源和南达科他州EPSCoR计划的资助下，增加了一些设施，如两台激光器（一台氮气激光器和一台YAG激光器）、一台x射线衍射仪、一台闭式低温恒温器和一台基于激光的短寿命荧光分光光度计。该项目旨在增加学术活动，并通过提供一些必要的额外基础设施，将该小组整合成一个具有国家竞争力的协作团队，从而促进该小组进入国家认可的领域。作为发展的首要任务，该中心将通过邀请杰出的教师作为系列讲座的一部分，以及通过访问学者计划，增加现有会员之间的互动。其他目标包括支持夏季专题讨论会，增加教师启动包，以及加强光动力学的研究生和本科生研究。9个详细的项目描述：CsM(II)X3宿主中分离镧系（III）离子对能量传递机制的互补实验和理论研究，一种新型阴离子传感系统的光动力学研究，肉桂酰胺，硫辛酸酰胺光异构化机制的研究，及相关化合物的研究，萘酰亚胺染料的光破碎研究，衍生化环系和环系的络合研究，耦合镧系体系的激发态衰减动力学映射，含Cu（II）和Ru（II）片段的双金属配合物的激发态性质，分离镧系化合物衰变动力学的分子束研究，螯合醌-联吡啶配合物的光诱导电子转移。
