This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry, titled "SYNTHESIS, PROPERTIES AND DYNAMICS OF BODIPY-BASED FLUOROPHORES," provides $470,000 in funding from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2024. The award supports work under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to advance the progress of these sciences and strengthen the Nation's scientific enterprise through increased knowledge and understanding of major problems. Specifically, the grant funds collaborative computational and experimental research between Louisiana State University and Appalachian State University to design and characterize new fluorescent dye molecules called BODIPYs (Boron-dipyrromethene). The Louisiana State University group synthesizes and analyzes new BODIPY compounds, while the Appalachian State University group uses computational modeling to simulate the properties, structures, and dynamics of the dyes to assist synthesis and explain observations. The goal is to develop dyes with enhanced characteristics like higher quantum yields and better stability for applications such as biological imaging.
