Weinert Lab Awarded a NSF Research Grant

We recieved a research grant from the National Science Foundation in the amount of $390,000 for 3 years that will be in effect from August 2015 through July 2018. The funds were awarded to support our ongoing efforts to synthesize and characterize long-chain oligogermanes having more than six atoms in the germanium - germanium backbone. The driving force for this research is to prepare discrete well-characterized molecules that will exhibit physical properties that mimic larger polygermanes and germanium nanomaterials. We expect that these larger molecules will have interesting optical attributes, such as thermochromism or non-linear optical properties, and possibly will also exhibit conductivity. These properties should be tunable by variation of the molecule's composition. We are extremely grateful to the NSF for providing us with the funds to conduct this research.
