Overall Project Details

Title of the Project Isotope Effects on Anthracene Photodimerization in surfactant systems

Project Keywords anthracene, Photodimerization, Triplet-triplet annihilation

Are you currently looking for research assistants? Yes

Number of Research Assistants Needed 1

Relevant Research Assistant Major(s) Chemistry and Biochemistry, Physics

Project Location: On FSU Main Campus

If the project location is off campus, does the research assistant(s) need to provide their own transportation? {Empty}

Please select the choice that most accurately describes your expectations for the research assistant(s): In-person

Approximately how many hours a week would the research assistant(s) need to work? at least 10 hours/week

Roughly what time frame do you expect research assistant(s) to work? Flexible schedule (Combination of business and outside of business. TBD between student and research mentor.)

Overall Research Project Description Meso substituted anthracenes can give mixtures of isomeric dimers. We will determine the effect of 2H and 13C substitution on the dimer distribution in micellar and vesicular solutions. Such solutions have been shown to change photodimer distribution but the effect of isotopic substitution on the prduct ratio is unknown. Kinetic isotope and nuclear hiperfine effects may be enhanced due to longer lifetimes of excited anthracene pairs.

Research Tasks Synthesis of substituted anthracenes. Photodimerization data collection. Data analysis.

Skills that research assistant(s) may need: Preferably the student should have taken CHM 2211L.

Mentoring Philosophy The student will be assisted initially by a graduate student. The student will learn how to use the scientific literature and how to make photochemical and photophysical measurements. Ideally the student should progress to working independently.
