Molecular, Cluster, and Solid State Lanthanide Compounds with Electropositive Ligands

该奖项授予罗格斯大学的John Brennan教授，由化学部的先进材料和加工项目支持。 研究的重点将是合成和表征镧基硫属元素化物和磷属元素化物作为分子，团簇和固态材料在光学和电子器件中的应用。 为了在发光二极管、光纤和环保颜料等方面的应用，将在低温下由镧基前驱体分子和团簇合成固态材料。本研究将制备和表征镧基分子、团簇和固态材料。由于其独特的化学和结构，这些镧基材料将具有在其他材料中观察不到的光学和电子特性。 此外，该项目的跨学科方法将为学生提供材料化学，合成和表征方面的知识和培训。

This award to Professor John Brennan at Rutgers University, is supported by the Advanced Materials and Processing Program in the Chemistry Division. The focus of the research will be synthesis and characterization of lanthanum-based chalcogenides and pnictides as molecules, clusters and solid-state materials for applications in optical and electronic devices. For applications in light emitting diodes, fiber optics and environmentally safe pigments, solid state materials will be synthesized at low temperatures from lanthanum-based precursor molecules and clusters.Molecules, clusters and solid-state materials based on lanthanum will be prepared and characterized under this research. Because of their unique chemistry and structure, these lanthanum-based materials will have optical and electronic properties not observed in other materials. In addition, the interdisciplinary approaches of the project will provide knowledge and training to students in materials chemistry, synthesis and characterization.
