Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Chemistry at Furman University

有了这个奖项，化学部支持由博士指导的本科生（REU）网站的研究经验。弗曼大学化学系的奈特和摩西·李。 12名本科生参与者，包括9名弗曼学生和3名非弗曼学生，将由另外20名学生和3名来自小学校的访问教师加入。 NSF-REU学生将从12个不同的领域选择研究项目，包括新的自由基阳离子的研究，使用毛细管电泳来估计溶质疏水性，单个DNA分子的检测和表征，超临界水中氧化的动力学，表面固定化金属络合物的合成和表征，通过吸附测量的碳表面表征剂，序列特异性DNA结合剂的合成、纳米多孔固体的设计和合成、芳香酶抑制剂的制备、薄膜前体的合成和表征、毛细管电泳的新方法以及与DNA结合的过渡金属络合物的光化学。

With this award, the Chemistry Division supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site directed by Drs. Lon B. Knight and Moses Lee in the Department of Chemistry at Furman University. The twelve undergraduate participants, including nine Furman and three non-Furman students, will be joined by twenty additional students and three visiting faculty members from small schools. The NSF-REU students will select research projects from twelve different areas including the study of new radical cations, use of capillary electrophoresis to estimate solute hydrophobicity, detection and characterization of single DNA molecules, kinetics of oxidations in supercritical water, synthesis and characterization of surface-immobilized metal complexes, characterization agents of carbon surfaces by adsorption measurements, synthesis of sequence-specific DNA binding agents, design and synthesis of nanoporous solids, preparation of inhibitors for the enzyme aromatase, synthesis and characterization of thin-film precursors, new approaches in capillary electrophoresis and the photochemistry of transition metal complexes bound to DNA.
