This grant provides support under the Presidential Young                        Investigator Program. The project involves the application of                   inorganic chemistry to materials science with a focus on the                    synthesis and characterization of new solid state materials.                    Low temperature synthetic methods will be developed and                         exploited to produce kinetically stable solid state complexes                   which are inaccessible by other means. Target substances                        include new layered compounds such as metal sulfides which have                 interesting electronic and magnetic properties. Another goal of                 the project is to explore and characterize the effects of novel                 dopants on conducting polymers. For example, polyacetylene will                 be doped with heavy metals. Such dopants may change drastically                 such properties as magnetism, conductivity or charge storage                    capacity. Conducting polymers and layered metal sulfides will                   be investigated also as possible electrode materials for                        storage batteries. An important goal of this research is the                    development of a material to replace lithium in non-aqueous                     storage batteries.
