Synthesis and coordination chemistry of new redox-active ligands

世界范围内的经济进步以及我们文明的健康和福祉与新材料的发展密不可分。从石器到青铜再到铁器时代的文明，以及统治地球大片地区的帝国，它们的生存和成功都与生产创新工具、仪器和机器的能力息息相关。在我们的现代社会中，重要材料的例子比比皆是：磁性材料被用来驱动汽车的电机，为磁共振成像(MRI)扫描仪等重要诊断设备提供动力，以及将我们的数据存储在计算机硬件中。为了进一步发展我们的技术，我们已经到了必须超越宏观世界，进入分子、离子和原子成为我们基石的纳米尺度的地步。我们的研究小组正在从事这些产品的生产

Worldwide economic progress and the health and well-being of our civilization are irrevocably linked to the development of new materials. From the Stone-to-Bronze-to-Iron Age civilizations and over Empires that have ruled swaths of the planet, their survival and successes have been tied to the ability to produce innovative tools, instruments, and machines. Examples of important materials are everywhere in our modern society: Magnetic materials are used to drive motors in automobiles, power important diagnostic equipment, like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners and to store our data in computer hardware. To further develop our technologies, we have reached the point where we must look beyond the macroscopic world and into the nanoscale where molecules, ions, and atoms become our building blocks. Our research group is engaged in the production of these
