This $575,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry will support Purdue University's research into photoactive iron and cobalt organometallic compounds. Led by Professor Tong Ren, the team will investigate a new family of macrocycle-supported metal complexes to extend the lifetimes of excited states and improve the efficiency of solar energy utilization. Key objectives include synthesizing Fe(II)-TIM and Fe(III)-TIM complexes as new metal-to-ligand and ligand-to-metal charge transfer chromophores, as well as developing Co(III) species containing Co-C bonds to study photo-induced Co-C cleavage reactions. The project will leverage experimental and computational approaches through collaborations to explore the nature of the excited states. Additionally, the research team will work with Purdue's K-12 outreach program to introduce new teaching modules on sustainable chemistry. This award, which runs from August 2024 to July 2027, aligns with the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program objectives to advance scientific knowledge and address complex challenges in chemical sciences.
