The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $435,914 Project Grant to The Ohio State University under the Chemistry Division's Chemical Structure, Dynamics & Mechanisms B program (CFDA 47.049 Mathematical and Physical Sciences). The grant supports the development of new classes of dinuclear transition metal complexes to study forbidden electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopic transitions. The goal is to understand how molecular structure can violate EPR selection rules to enable high-intensity transitions, which may lead to improved EPR-based bioimaging techniques. The research also aims to lower-frequency EPR transitions that could integrate the chemical sensitivity of EPR with magnetic resonance imaging. The grant runs from February 2024 to July 2026 and does not include any planned subawards.
