The University of California Irvine will assess the applicability of Marcus theory to excited-state proton transfer and protonic photo-chemical energy conversion under a $349,768 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry. The grant was awarded on July 1, 2021 for a three-year period concluding on June 30, 2024. The research supports the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program's goals of advancing scientific knowledge and understanding of major problems in these fields through CFDA 47.049. Insights gained from applying Marcus theory could further theoretical understanding of proton transfer mechanisms in excited chemical states and proton-based photo-chemical energy technologies.
