BUILDING BLOCK APPROACH TO PRODUCTION OF PORPHYRIN LIGHT GATHERING ARRAYS

开发高效的合成方法来生产 卟啉的共键合阵列。 该项目的目标是 以获得关于光聚集特性的信息， 叶绿素触角，以分析的过程， 像叶绿素这样的分子吸收光并将能量转化为 化学反应。 该项目还有另一个长期目标， 分子电子学的发展。 质谱分析绝对是 关键是评估这些复杂的化学合成的成功 卟啉阵列。 描述这项工作的论文正在印刷中 D.Fenyo，B.T. Chait，T. E.约翰逊和J.S. Lindsey“激光解吸 大规模合成卟啉阵列的质谱研究 （1997）出版中。

Development of efficient synthetic approaches to the production of co-valently bonded arrays of porphyrins. The aims of this project are to gain information about the light gathering properties of chlorophyll antennae, in order to analyze the process by which molecules like chlorophyll absorb light and convert the energy into chemical reactions. The project has an another long-term goal, the development of molecular electronics. Mass spectrometry is absolutely key in assessing the success of chemical syntheses of these complex arrays of porphyrins. A paper describing this work is in press D.Fenyo, B.T. Chait, T.E. Johnson & J.S. Lindsey "Laser desorption Mass Spectrometry of Large Synthetic Porphyrin Arrays" Porphyrins (1997) In press.
