This Project Grant award of $780,000, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, will support Professor T. Don Tilley of the University of California, Berkeley in developing synthetic methodologies for the controlled, efficient, and scalable introduction of fused aromatic rings into large, tailored polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The goal is to create nanocarbon compounds that exhibit optical and electronic properties similar to graphene, a remarkable material known for its strength and light weight. The work has the potential to reveal innovative ways to integrate charge transport with photon excitations, potentially enabling the development of next-generation electronic devices. The project will also contribute to the training of young scientists and technologists, while generating fundamental chemistry knowledge and providing opportunities to inspire high school and undergraduate students toward careers in chemistry and nanotechnology.
