This studentship seeks to challenge the status quo regarding the use of precious metals in light-activated molecules and materials. We will develop a series of new photoactive compounds that incorporate earth-abundant 1st-row transition metals and explore their utility in a broad range of applications, such as photocatalysis, energy upconversion and bioimaging. Our overall aim is to develop a chemical toolbox to replace expensive and rare precious-metal based compounds with sustainable earth-abundant analogues.Our recent work on luminescent chromium-based systems, shows highly advantageous luminescence properties under ambient conditions (DOI: 10.1039/D2CC01434C), opening pathways to a range of applications including bioimaging and energy upconversion.The student will join a vibrant and diverse research team led by experts in physical chemistry (Richards), synthetic inorganic (photo)chemistry (Pope) and the biosciences (Williams). They will be fully trained in chemical synthesis procedures (including handling of air-sensitive materials) for ligands and complexes, and gain specialist knowledge in advanced characterisation and state of the art spectroscopic techniques including EPR and photophysics, as well as relevant applications.

该学生奖学金旨在挑战在光激活分子和材料中使用贵金属的现状。我们将开发一系列新的光活性化合物，其中包含地球上丰富的第一行过渡金属，并探索它们在光催化、能量上转换和生物成像等广泛应用中的效用。我们的总体目标是开发一种化学工具箱，用地球上丰富的可持续类似物替代昂贵且稀有的贵金属化合物。我们最近在发光铬基系统方面的工作显示了在环境条件下非常有利的发光特性（DOI：10.1039/D2CC01434C ），为包括生物成像和能量上转换在内的一系列应用开辟了道路。学生将加入由物理化学专家领导的充满活力和多元化的研究团队（理查兹）、合成无机（光）化学（波普）和生物科学（威廉姆斯）。他们将接受配体和配合物化学合成程序（包括空气敏感材料的处理）方面的全面培训，并获得先进表征和最先进的光谱技术（包括 EPR 和光物理学）以及相关应用方面的专业知识。
