With the support of the Organic Dynamics Program in the Chemistry Division, Professor King, of the Chemistry Department at the University of Nevada Reno, will investigate the synthesis and properties of a new class of helical and linear graphite strips. These new materials will include a family of chiral helical polymers, graphite strips consisting of benzene rings, and helical strips containing nitrogen that will respond to changes in pH. These studies will lead to conjugated benzenoid materials that can provide electronic communication, dimensions, and tensile strength similar to carbon nanotubes, but are well-defined tunable materials. These materials, with their novel electronic and structural properties, will have applications in actuation, sensing, and nanoelectronics.With the support of the Organic Dynamics Program in the Chemistry Division, Professor King will pursue an educational strategy directed toward the development of an integrated extracurricular learning environment accessible to all students. In addition, the PI will generate enthusiasm in students towards science by preparing a set of lectures that connect chemistry, other academic disciplines such as history and technology, and everyday experiences. A major goal of these efforts will be the recruitment of undergraduates into research programs with an emphasis on promotion of diversity.

在化学系有机动力学项目的支持下，内华达州大学里诺化学系的金教授将研究一类新的螺旋和线性石墨条的合成和性质。 这些新材料将包括一系列手性螺旋聚合物，由苯环组成的石墨条，以及含有氮的螺旋条，这些螺旋条将响应pH值的变化。这些研究将导致共轭苯型材料，可以提供电子通信，尺寸和拉伸强度类似于碳纳米管，但定义明确的可调材料。 这些材料具有新颖的电子和结构特性，将在驱动、传感和纳米电子学方面有应用。在化学系有机动力学项目的支持下，金教授将推行一项教育战略，旨在发展一个面向所有学生的综合课外学习环境。 此外，PI将通过准备一系列连接化学，其他学科（如历史和技术）以及日常经验的讲座，激发学生对科学的热情。 这些努力的一个主要目标将是招募本科生参加研究项目，重点是促进多样性。
