Nature Inspired Strategies for New Organic Materials
Abstract
This report accounts for the technical accomplishments during the single year of funding for this program. It includes, but is not limited to, a list of publications, transitions, visits, and awards earned by the participating researchers. This grant has been instrumental in initiating organic materials research in the Scheidt laboratory. Key discoveries made in this small time period include the development of an efficient synthesis of bidentate organic "rods" to be used for material assembly. The basic fundamentals of the chemical reaction and the construction of various organic architectures were established. Furthermore, the interest in new methods and protocols to assemble tailor-made organic materials has been kindled and resulted in collaborations with additional high profile researchers at Northwestern University, including Chad Mirkin, Joe Hupp and SonBinh Nguyen.
