The Chemical Structure, Dynamics and Mechanisms Program supports the work of Professor Malcolm H. Chisholm of The Ohio State University for the investigation of metal-metal (where metal, M, is molybdenum or tungsten) quadruplly-bonded compounds. Particular emphasis is given to alpha-alpha'-linked thienyl units attached to the M2 center by carboxylate, thiocarboxylate or amidinate groups. The chemical synthesis and fundamental physico-chemical studies contribute to the "intelligent design" of metallated organic polymers that enhance device characteristics of organic photovoltaics, OPV, by spectral expansion. The electronic coupling of the M2 quadruply bonded centers is modified by controlling the distance between the two metal atoms, their orbital energy matching, conformation and/or chemical charge. These molecular systems can be viewed as molecular rheostats and rectifiers as they act as signals and switches to report on their environments and redox states. The electronic spectra of the complexes are studied by ultra-fast spectroscopy (femtosecond- and nanosecond-transient absorption, IR and Raman) to examine the charge delocalization as a function of time. Sunlight is one of the few renewable energy sources available on a large enough scale to address the world's long-term energy needs. This research examines new chemical structures that are capable of capturing sunlight for further conversion into electrical energy. In collaboration with Professors Epstein in Physics and Berger in Electrical Engineering, the Chisholm group examines the use of the MM quadruply bonded complexes as light "harvesters" for solar cells and light emitting devices (LEDs). These metal complexes are modified and optimized to absorb large portions of the available solar light and to transfer this light into forms of energy that can be transported or stored. Undergraduate and graduate students interact with groups in physics, electrical engineering and material science. This multidisciplinary program provides an outstanding educational background for careers in science, particularly in the development of alternative energy technologies. Particularly noteworthy is the connection with the Ohio Photovoltaic Initiative for Commercialization which provides students with opportunities for internships and future employment as well as providing a ready platform for the commercialization of devices that arise from these fundamental laboratory studies.

化学结构、动力学和机理项目支持俄亥俄州立大学 Malcolm H. Chisholm 教授研究金属-金属（其中金属 M 是钼或钨）四键化合物的工作。 特别强调通过羧酸根、硫代羧酸根或脒基连接至M2中心的α-α'-连接的噻吩基单元。 化学合成和基础物理化学研究有助于金属化有机聚合物的“智能设计”，通过光谱扩展增强有机光伏器件 OPV 的器件特性。 M2 四重键合中心的电子耦合通过控制两个金属原子之间的距离、它们的轨道能量匹配、构象和/或化学电荷来改变。 这些分子系统可以被视为分子变阻器和整流器，因为它们充当信号和开关来报告其环境和氧化还原状态。 通过超快光谱（飞秒和纳秒瞬态吸收、红外和拉曼）研究配合物的电子光谱，以检查电荷离域随时间的变化。阳光是少数能够大规模满足世界长期能源需求的可再生能源之一。 这项研究检查了能够捕获阳光以进一步转化为电能的新化学结构。 Chisholm 小组与物理学教授 Epstein 和电气工程教授 Berger 合作，研究了 MM 四键复合物作为太阳能电池和发光器件 (LED) 的光“收集器”的用途。 这些金属络合物经过修饰和优化，可以吸收大部分可用的太阳光，并将这些光转化为可以传输或存储的能量形式。 本科生和研究生与物理、电气工程和材料科学领域的小组互动。这个多学科项目为科学职业，特别是替代能源技术的开发提供了出色的教育背景。 特别值得注意的是与俄亥俄州光伏商业化计划的联系，该计划为学生提供实习和未来就业的机会，并为这些基础实验室研究产生的设备的商业化提供现成的平台。
