U.S.-Korea Cooperative Research on Electron Transfer Photochemistry

该奖项将资助马里兰大学帕克分校化学系Patrick S. Mariano博士与韩国釜山国立大学化学系Ung Chan Yoon教授进行为期36个月的电子转移光化学领域的合作研究。该项目的四个重点是：(1)探索有关激发态电子转移促进的有机光化学反应的机制和合成应用的重要科学问题；(2)为美国国家科学基金会（NSF）化学分部支持的正在进行的研究项目带来国际合作的视角；(3)在马里兰大学的科学家和韩国机构的同行之间建立强有力的科学互动，(4)为年轻的美国科学家提供独特的研究机会，作为他们博士论文研究的一部分。众所周知，电子转移（SET）光化学是各种基态和激发态化学和生化过程中的关键机制事件。有机光化学是一门学科，这种认识深刻地影响了对机理途径的理解和新反应的发展。PI和他的韩国合作者在set -光化学领域做出了许多重大贡献，是该提案领域备受尊敬的研究人员。该项目与美韩合作科学项目的目标相关，该项目旨在通过科学信息、思想、技能和技术的交流以及在互利问题上的合作，提高美韩科学家和工程师之间的合作水平。韩国参与该项目得到了韩国科学工程财团（KOSEF）的支持。该项目为PI正在进行的研究增加了国际合作的维度。切- 9420889 * * *

9511989 Mariano This award provides funds to permit Dr. Patrick S. Mariano, Department of Chemistry, University of Maryland at College Park, to pursue with Professor Ung Chan Yoon, Department of Chemistry, Pusan National University, Korea, for 36 months, a program of cooperative research in the area of electron transfer photochemistry. The four thrusts of this project are to (1) probe important scientific questions regarding the mechanisms and synthetic applications of organic photochemical reactions which are promoted by excited state electron transfer, (2) bring an international cooperative perspective to an ongoing research project supported by the Chemistry Division, National Science Foundation (NSF), (3) develop strong scientific interactions between scientists at the University of Maryland and their counterparts at Korean institutions, and (4) provide an introduction of young American scientists to unique research opportunities as part of their doctoral dissertation research. It is well recognized that electron transfer (SET) photochemistry is a key mechanistic event in a wide variety of ground and excited state chemical and biochemical processes. Organic photochemistry is one discipline where this recognition has profoundly impacted the understanding of mechanistic pathways and the development of new reactions. The PI and his Korean collaborator have made a number of significant contributions in the field of SET-photochemistry and are highly respected researchers in the field of the proposal. This project is relevant to the objectives of the U.S.-Korea Cooperative Science Program which seeks to increase the level of cooperation between U.S. and Korean scientists and engineers through the exchange of scientific information, ideas, skills, and techniques and through collaboration on problems of mutual benefit. Korean participation in the project is supported by the Korea Science and Engineering Foundation (KOSEF). This project adds an international coopera tive dimension to the PI's ongoing research under NSF Grant No. CHE-9420889 ***
