The project...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities Program grant award of $453,612 to Xavier University of Louisiana supports research to develop new synthetic methods for creating dimeric quinone molecules with potential applications in energy storage, pharmaceuticals, and dyes. The project, led by Principal Investigators Jayalakshmi Sridhar and Kevin Riley, aims to standardize a straightforward approach for producing a variety of homo- and heterodimeric quinones. The key objectives are to: 1) study the reaction mechanism using computational and synthetic techniques to enable the design of targeted quinone dimers, 2) synthesize homodimers with diverse structural features, and 3) explore the versatility of the synthetic method for generating heterodimeric quinones for specific end uses. This award supports training undergraduate students, particularly from underrepresented minority groups, in multiple areas of chemistry including organic synthesis, computational modeling, and scientific communication.
