The Center for Sustainable Materials Chemistry will focus on fundamental aspects of the aqueous chemistry of inorganic nanoclusters and their transformation to solids. It will explore new approaches to synthesizing inorganic clusters and how to tune their reactivity by coupling theory with experiment. It will prepare from the clusters dense and porous thin solid films with minimum energy input and unprecedented control, emphasizing the so-called green elements in the periodic table. The chemical transformations leading to these high-quality films will be investigated with various techniques offering near-atomic resolution capabilities. By applying the film chemistry to lamination, the center will study and tune reactions -neutralization, metathesis, interdiffusion, and redox - providing insights on basic chemistry processes involving these materials. By pushing the film chemistry to ultra-thin limits ( 1 nm), the center will open new opportunities to synthesize targeted compositions and structures Beyond the Molecular Frontier. This research holds promise of transforming current technologies to produce high performance materials at dimensions 10 nm with potential broad applications from electronic device fabrication to optical coatings and use in energy storage materials and applications using environmentally benign methods. The center is committed to education at all levels. Graduate students and postdoctoral associates will have access to professional development opportunities in entrepreneurship, teaching, immersion courses, and public communication. A pilot effort to a high school with a diverse population will promote learning through a graduate-student-in-residence program. It will develop a web-based public outreach initiative and accompany this with outreach events across Oregon to build awareness of how chemistry research contributes to a healthy economy and societal well-being. Activities of the center in these areas as well as its science initiatives will be monitored by an external advisory board and evaluation consultants.The Center for Sustainable Materials Chemistry is funded as part of the Centers for Chemical Innovation (CCI) program.

可持续材料中心化学中心将重点介绍无机纳米粉质水性化学的基本方面及其对固体的转化。它将探索合成无机簇的新方法，以及如何通过耦合理论与实验来调整其反应性。它将从具有最小能量输入和前所未有的控制的簇密集和多孔的薄膜中制备，强调元素周期表中所谓的绿色元素。 将通过各种提供近原子分辨率能力的技术研究导致这些高质量膜的化学转化。 通过将薄膜化学应用于层压，该中心将研究和调整反应 - 中和化，元理解，扩散和氧化还原 - 提供有关涉及这些材料的基本化学过程的见解。 通过将薄膜化学推向超薄极限（1 nm），该中心将为综合靶向组成和分子边界以外的结构提供新的机会。 这项研究有望改变当前技术，以10 nm的尺寸生产高性能材料，从电子设备制造到光学涂料，并使用环境良性方法在储能材料和应用中使用。 该中心致力于各个级别的教育。研究生和博士后同事将获得企业家精神，教学，沉浸式课程和公共交流的专业发展机会。 为拥有多样化人口的高中的试点努力将通过一项居住研究生计划促进学习。 它将开发一项基于网络的公共宣传计划，并伴随着俄勒冈州各地的外展活动，以建立对化学研究如何促进健康经济和社会福祉的认识。 该中心在这些领域的活动及其科学计划将由外部顾问委员会和评估顾问监视。可持续材料中心化学中心作为化学创新中心（CCI）计划的一部分资助。
