This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). In this RUI project funded by the Inorganic, Bioinorganic, and Organometallic Chemistry Program of the Chemistry Division and the Solid State and Materials Chemistry Program of the Division of Materials Research, Robert Bachman of Sewanee: The University of the South will synthesize and study new metallomesogens: liquid crystal forming metal complexes. The promise of combining the useful properties of metal complexes with those of liquid crystals has led to a longstanding interest in metallomesogens. These materials are a technologically important class of compounds impacting many industries. The complexes targeted in this work will use metal-metal interactions to both assist in the formation of liquid crystalline phases and impart novel properties, such as intense luminescence or conductive behavior, to the materials. Guerbet alcohols, which are potent suppressors of crystallinity, will play a key role in stabilizing the liquid crystalline phase at low (ambient) temperature while allowing for the targeted metal-metal interactions to occur. Sewanee has been reintroducing research training into the education of its science undergraduates. This project will impact students' educational experiences and will provide these undergraduates an opportunity to learn research skills at their own institution.

该奖项是根据2009年《美国复苏与再投资法》（公法111-5）资助的。 在这个由无机，生物无机和有机金属化学分部和材料研究部的固态和材料化学计划的RUI项目中，Sewanee的Robert Bachman的固态和材料化学计划：Sewanee的Robert Bachman：Sewane University South University将合成并研究新的金属蛋白蛋白：液晶形成金属金属综合体。将金属络合物与液晶的有用特性相结合的希望导致对金属蛋白的浓度长期兴趣。这些材料是影响许多行业的技术上重要的化合物。 这项工作中针对的络合物将使用金属 - 金属相互作用来帮助形成液晶相，并赋予材料的新型特性，例如强烈发光或导电行为。 葡萄醇是结晶度有效的抑制剂，将在低（环境）温度下稳定液晶相中发挥关键作用，同时允许发生靶向的金属 - 金属相互作用。 Sewanee一直在重新研究其科学本科生教育的研究培训。 该项目将影响学生的教育经验，并将为这些本科生提供自己机构学习研究技能的机会。
