In this project funded by the Macromolecular, Supramolecular and Nanochemistry Program of the Chemistry Division, Kirk S. Schanze of the University of Florida will investigate fundamental properties of carrier transport in conducting polymer molecular wires and thin films. The overall objective of the program is to provide a clear understanding of the structure, energetics and dynamics of triplet exciton states in pi-conjugated, weakly conjugated and non-conjugated model molecular and polymeric chromophore assembliles. The structures that will be the focus of study feature platinum metal units as a primary element. These metal centers serve to enhance triplet spin state generation in the materials and promote room temperature phosphorescence. Understanding the properties of photoexcited states in molecules and polymers with delocalized electronic systems is very important because these materials are receiving a great deal of attention from scientists and engineers for application in a new generation of plastic electronic devices. In particular, the questions addressed in this research program are broadly relevant to applications of organic and organometallic materials in high efficiency light sources (organic light emitting diodes), organic solar cells (light driven electrical power generation), and in control and attenuation of laser light (non-linear optical materials). This research program provides also serves as key training for postdoc, graduate and undergraduate students in the principal investigator's laboratory. These students obtain broad training in skills ranging from synthetic chemistry to the application of physical methods such as optical spectroscopy and materials characterization. In addition, as part of this project the research group will participate in the Student Science Training Program (SSTP) with a seven-week residential program held each summer at the University of Florida for high school students (11th and 12th graders) interested in careers in science, math and engineering. Each summer the Schanze group will host an SSTP student, getting them involved in the research project, as well as interacting with the full group of SSTP students in seminar and workshop settings.

在这个由化学系高分子、超分子和纳米化学项目资助的项目中，佛罗里达大学的 Kirk S. Schanze 将研究导电聚合物分子线和薄膜中载流子传输的基本特性。 该项目的总体目标是提供对π共轭、弱共轭和非共轭模型分子和聚合发色团组件中三线态激子态的结构、能量学和动力学的清晰理解。 将成为研究重点的结构以铂金属单元作为主要元素。这些金属中心用于增强材料中三重态自旋态的产生并促进室温磷光。 了解具有离域电子系统的分子和聚合物中光激发态的特性非常重要，因为这些材料在新一代塑料电子设备中的应用受到了科学家和工程师的极大关注。特别是，本研究计划解决的问题与有机和有机金属材料在高效光源（有机发光二极管）、有机太阳能电池（光驱动发电）以及激光控制和衰减中的应用广泛相关。光（非线性光学材料）。 该研究项目还为首席研究员实验室的博士后、研究生和本科生提供关键培训。 这些学生获得了广泛的技能培训，从合成化学到物理方法的应用，如光谱学和材料表征。 此外，作为该项目的一部分，研究小组将参加学生科学培训计划 (SSTP)，每年夏天在佛罗里达大学为对职业感兴趣的高中生（11 年级和 12 年级学生）举办为期七周的住宿项目在科学、数学和工程方面。 每年夏天，Schanze 小组都会接待一名 SSTP 学生，让他们参与研究项目，并在研讨会和讲习班中与整个 SSTP 学生小组进行互动。
