Conjugated Inorganic-Organic Materials: The Next Generation

无机、生物无机和金属有机化学计划的这一奖项支持凯斯西储大学的John D.Protasiewicz教授的研究，他研究了具有较重类似物(如膦类化合物，RP)的共轭聚合物的组成卡宾(R2C)，以生产电子调制的近等结构共轭材料(具有E=C和E=E键，而不是C=C键)。具体目标包括：1.开发高产率合成扩展共轭材料的新的更好的方法；2.构建具有更大共轭和光致发光响应的扩展体系的新单体；以及3)发现具有有趣的光学和电学性质的新扩展体系。研究生和本科生将接受有机、无机、主族、聚合物和物理化学方面的教育和指导。PI还在他的实验室指导高中生，并担任当地ACS分支机构和学生团体的顾问。

This award in the Inorganic, Bioinorganic and Organometallic Chemistry Program supports research by Professor John D. Protasiewicz at Case-Western Reserve University to investigate the constituent carbenes (R2C) of conjugated polymers with heavier analogs (such as phosphinidenes, RP) to produce nearly isostructural conjugated materials that are electronically modulated (having E=C and E=E bonds versus C=C bonds). Specific goals include: 1. The development of new and better methodology for high yield synthesis of extended conjugated materials; 2. New monomers for constructing extended systems with greater conjugation and photoluminescent responses; and, 3) Discovery of new extended systems having interesting optical and electronic properties. Graduate and undergraduate students will receive education and mentoring in organic, inorganic, main group, polymer, and physical chemistry. The PI also mentors high school students in his laboratory, and serves as advisor to local ACS affiliates and student groups.
