In this project funded by the Macromolecular, Supramolecular and Nanochemistry Program of the Chemistry Division, Frieder Jaekle of Rutgers University at Newark will use conjugated organoborane oligomers and polymers for the development of new rod-coil type amphiphiles, study their self-assembly into higher order structures, and probe their response to different chemical and physical stimuli. As a result of their electron-deficient nature, organoboranes offer a unique set of desirable features including strongly pi-accepting electronic properties and a pronounced tendency to form Lewis acid-base complexes. A diverse group of undergraduate and graduate students will be trained and high school students will be involved through the ACS project SEED. Their learning experience will be further enriched through international collaborations and student exchanges. As part of an effort to build bridges between research and undergraduate education a new experiment on conjugated polymers will be implemented in the Inorganic and Materials Chemistry undergraduate laboratory.This work will generate new fundamental knowledge in the field of main group element chemistry and in the areas of conjugated polymers and supramolecular materials. Studying these types of conjugated polymers could lead to novel functional materials with characteristics beneficial to optical, electronic, and sensing applications.

在这个由化学系大分子、超分子和纳米化学项目资助的项目中，罗格斯大学纽瓦克分校的Frieder Jaekle将使用共轭有机硼烷低聚物和聚合物开发新的棒-螺旋型两亲物，研究它们自组装成更高级的结构，并探测它们对不同化学和物理刺激的响应。由于它们的缺电子性质，有机硼烷提供了一组独特的期望特征，包括强烈的π-接受电子性质和形成刘易斯酸-碱络合物的明显趋势。一个多样化的本科生和研究生群体将接受培训，高中生将通过ACS项目种子参与。他们的学习经验将通过国际合作和学生交流进一步丰富。作为研究和本科教育之间的桥梁的努力的一部分，共轭聚合物的一个新的实验将在无机和材料化学本科实验室实施。这项工作将产生在主族元素化学领域的新的基础知识，在共轭聚合物和超分子材料的领域。研究这些类型的共轭聚合物可能会导致新的功能材料，其特性有利于光学，电子和传感应用。
