This $400,000.00 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support Professor Daniel E. Falvey of the University of Maryland, College Park in investigating unconventionally bonded molecular ions containing electron-deficient nitrogen atoms. The goal is to identify modifications to stabilize these reactive nitrogen-based intermediate species while preserving their desirable electronic and magnetic properties, which could enable applications in advanced energy storage, quantum computing, digital memory, and optoelectronics. The project will also explore using the high reactivity of less stable structures to chemically modify proteins for therapeutic or bioimaging purposes. Undergraduate and graduate students participating in the project will gain experience in molecular modeling, organic synthesis, and advanced spectroscopic analysis techniques. The award period runs from Sep 1, 2025 to Aug 31, 2027.
