This $375,699 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research at Bard College to synthesize and characterize cyclometalated platinum(IV) compounds. The research team, led by Professor Craig M. Anderson, will investigate the photophysical properties of these compounds and explore molecular design strategies to improve their performance for potential applications as sensors or devices. A key component of the work involves training undergraduate students across all aspects of the research, from laboratory experiments to scientific communication. The goal is to increase fundamental knowledge about the relationship between ligand architecture and the photophysical properties of this class of compounds, which could lead to the development of improved photoactive transition metal complexes. The award period runs from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027.
