Abstract
The objective of the research project is to synthesize a ligand that consists of several building blocks. When constructed, this ligand will allow the creation of linear multimetallic systems by substituting a transition metal directly into the backbone of the ligand. Following synthesis, this ligand will then be analyzed by spectroscopy to identify its photophysical and photochemical properties.
