With this renewal award, the Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry Program continues its support of the work of Professor Angel E. Kaifer, of the Chemistry Department at the University of Miami, Miami, FL. This research will examine the relationship between supramolecular structures and their spectroscopic and electrochemical properties. A number of novel dendrimers containing a covalently attached redox active group will be synthesized and characterized. These molecules will be designed to undergo self-assembly upon electron transfer. Thus, control of molecular aggregation will be achieved through redox mediation. The chemistry and binding properties of a series of cucurbituril molecular cavities will be investigated with the aim of learning more about the molecular recognition properties of these novel hosts and their behavior in the presence of redox active guests.The results of these investigations will make important contributions to the development of molecular devices and in other nanotechnological applications. This research is designed to foster training across the traditional disciplines of chemistry ranging from synthesis to electrochemistry. Special emphasis will be placed on training underrepresented minorities at all levels, from high school students to postdoctoral associates.

通过这一续展奖项，有机和高分子化学项目继续支持佛罗里达州迈阿密大学化学系安吉尔·E·卡弗教授的工作。这项研究将考察超分子结构与其光谱和电化学性质之间的关系。合成并表征了一系列含有共价结合氧化还原活性基团的新型树状大分子。这些分子将被设计成在电子转移时进行自我组装。因此，分子聚集的控制将通过氧化还原调节来实现。我们将对一系列瓜环分子空穴的化学和结合性质进行研究，以期更好地了解这些新型主体的分子识别特性以及它们在氧化还原活性客体存在下的行为。这些研究结果将对分子器件的开发和其他纳米技术的应用做出重要贡献。这项研究旨在促进从合成到电化学等传统化学学科的培训。将特别重视在各级培训人数不足的少数群体，从高中生到博士后助理。
