9733275 Huang This proposal aims to develop solid-state synthetic routes to a new generation of borophosphate-based second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) materials with superior optical properties (large NLO coefficients, high optical damage thresholds, lower absorption cutoffs, and phase matching at shorter wavelengths). Crystal engineering strategies will be used to produce novel supramolecular NLO host-guest assemblies derived from metal- organic coordination polymers and NLO-active organic chromophores. Because of the robust, infinite structures provided by polymeric inorganic host matrices, such materials may have enhanced mechanical, thermal and temporal stability, critical properties that have hampered commercial application of many otherwise promising organic molecule-based NLO materials. The education plan is centered on developing a coherent program for offering education and technical training in materials chemistry at both undergraduate and graduate levels, and on increasing Hispanic minority participation in chemistry. A materials chemistry laboratory course for upper-level undergraduate students will focus on strengthening the teaching of solid-state and materials chemistry for chemistry majors, thus better preparing the them for tomorrow's job market. Talented Hispanic students at the undergraduate level will be provided research experience and encouraged to pursue research careers in materials chemistry. This plan is anticipated to have a direct impact on the nation by increasing the number of highly trained and well-qualified Hispanic scientists. %%% The proposed research is aimed at synthesizing novel nonlinear optical (NLO) materials for applications such as optical switching, information storage, and laser frequency conversion related to technology areas that include telecommunications and computing. Furthermore, the design and synthesis of new classes of optical materials may lead not only to further technological innovations in these areas, but also to totally new technologies. This integrated research and education program will educate and train students to better compete for job opportunities in these fast-breaking areas. ***

9733275 Huang该提案旨在开发固态合成途径，以具有具有出色光学特性（大NLO系数，高光学损伤阈值，较低的吸收率临界值，较小的相匹配和较短的波长的相匹配）的新一代基于硼磷酸盐的二阶非线性光学（NLO）材料。 晶体工程策略将用于生产新型的超分子NLO宿主 - 宿主组件，这些组件源自金属有机协调聚合物和NLO活性有机发色团。由于聚合物无机宿主矩阵提供的坚固，无限的结构，这种材料可能具有增强的机械，热和时间稳定性，这些材料妨碍了许多原本有前途的有机分子NLO材料的商业应用。 该教育计划的重点是制定一项连贯的计划，用于在本科和研究生级别提供材料化学的教育和技术培训，以及增加西班牙裔少数群体参与化学的培训。 上级本科生的材料化学实验室课程将专注于加强化学专业的固态和材料化学的教学，从而更好地为明天的就业市场做好准备。 本科生的才华横溢的西班牙裔学生将获得研究经验，并鼓励从事材料化学的研究职业。预计该计划将通过增加训练有素且资格良好的西班牙裔科学家的数量对国家产生直接影响。 建议的研究旨在合成新型非线性光学（NLO）材料，用于应用与包括电信和计算在内的技术领域相关的光学开关，信息存储和激光频率转换。此外，新的光学材料的设计和合成不仅可能导致这些领域的进一步技术创新，而且还会导致全新的技术。 这项综合研究和教育计划将教育和培训学生在这些快速破裂的地区更好地争夺工作机会。 ***
