The development of the chemistry of nanometer (10-9 meter) sized pieces of semiconductor solids is being driven not only for the fundamental photophysical properties of these nanomaterials, but also for their potential applications ranging from solar cell devices to sensors to biological imaging agents. This is an interdisciplinary area of science, with contributions and interactions between the classical domains of physical, biological and medical sciences. Fine control over the assembly of such materials is of paramount importance in order to achieve homogeneity in size, shape and molecular composition. The research programs described in this proposal focus on a "molecular precursor approach" where specific properties are designed into small molecule reagents that can ultimately be incorporated into the nanometer scale framework that is being assembled, in a controlled and uniform fashion. In this way we will be able to prepare sensitive, molecular sensors, luminescent materials as well as hybrid semiconductor frameworks built up from carbon and inorganic based components. The graduate and undergraduate students working in these areas develop the skills and training to enter the high tech chemical and materials work force.

纳米（10-9米）大小的半导体固体片的化学发展不仅是因为这些纳米材料的基本物理性质，而且因为它们的潜在应用，从太阳能电池器件到传感器到生物成像剂。这是一个跨学科的科学领域，物理，生物和医学科学的经典领域之间的贡献和相互作用。 为了实现尺寸、形状和分子组成的均匀性，对这种材料的组装进行精细控制是至关重要的。该提案中描述的研究计划侧重于“分子前体方法”，其中将特定特性设计成小分子试剂，这些小分子试剂最终可以以受控和统一的方式并入正在组装的纳米尺度框架中。通过这种方式，我们将能够制备敏感的分子传感器，发光材料以及由碳和无机基组件构建的混合半导体框架。在这些领域工作的研究生和本科生发展技能和培训，以进入高科技化学和材料工作队伍。
