The objective of this work is to prepare a number of metalloporphyrin material building blocks and then assemble them into photonic materials. A number of metalloporphyrins will be or have been prepared and the thermodynamics, kinetics, and cooperative interactions involved in the self assembly of these materials will be studied. These self assembled materials will then be assembled into supramolecualr photonics with multiple functions and these photonic systems will be processed onto surfaces and into polymers. The assemblies thus formed will be characterized by a number of physical methods, some in the laboratory of the PI and some in collaboration with other investigators.With this award, the Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry Program is supporting the research of Dr. Charles M. Drain of the Department of Chemistry at CUNY Hunter College. Dr. Drain will explore the synthesis of photonic materials. Photonic materials are assemblies of molecules which can absorb and emit photons in small defined spaces. These light absorbing materials (chromophores) are typically assembled onto surfaces (photogated transistors for example or materials on surfaces with controllable luminesence properties) or into polymers or wires. Students trained as a result of working on this project will gain experience in materials research as well as supramolecular organic chemistry, hence they will have skills needed by both the specialty chemicals and the computer/materials industries.

这项工作的目的是制备一些金属卟啉材料构建块，然后将它们组装成光子材料。 许多金属卟啉将被制备或已经被制备，并且将研究这些材料的自组装所涉及的热力学、动力学和协同相互作用。 然后，这些自组装材料将被组装成具有多种功能的超分子光子学，这些光子系统将被加工到表面上并加工成聚合物。由此形成的组装体将通过多种物理方法进行表征，其中一些是在 PI 实验室中进行的，一些是与其他研究人员合作进行的。有机和高分子化学项目通过该奖项支持纽约市立大学亨特学院化学系 Charles M. Drain 博士的研究。 Drain 博士将探索光子材料的合成。 光子材料是分子的集合体，可以在狭小的限定空间内吸收和发射光子。 这些光吸收材料（发色团）通常组装到表面（例如光控晶体管或具有可控发光特性的表面上的材料）或组装到聚合物或电线中。 通过该项目接受培训的学生将获得材料研究和超分子有机化学方面的经验，因此他们将具备特种化学品和计算机/材料行业所需的技能。
