The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant of $346,854 to the Regents of the University of Minnesota, doing business as the University of Minnesota Duluth, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant, awarded on September 1, 2025, with a completion date of August 31, 2028, will support the development of a new class of hypervalent phosphorus(V) porphyrin (PPOR) and antimony(V) porphyrin (SBPOR) photosensitizers. The research aims to explore the intricate relationship between the structure, energetics, and charge transfer-coupled intersystem crossing mechanism to produce triplet excited states, which have potential applications in artificial photosynthesis, photodynamic therapy, photovoltaics, and bioimaging. The project will also provide hands-on research experience and training for the next generation of scientists.
