The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a three-year, $550,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA). Under this grant, Professor Sherri McFarland and her team will examine the redox and excited state properties of oligothiophene-containing ruthenium(II) complexes, which have important applications as photosensitizers in fields ranging from solar energy conversion to photomedicine. The primary objectives are to develop a photophysical model for these systems, investigate the effects of factors like ionization state and excited state conformation on potential proton-coupled electron transfer pathways and bimolecular processes, and advance the fundamental understanding of coordination chemistry, photochemistry and photophysics with implications for photomedicine. This multidisciplinary project will provide graduate and undergraduate students unique training opportunities at the intersection of chemistry, biology, physics, and engineering.
