Cotton, T. M.

During the initial eight months of this funding period, we continued studies of photosynthetic model systems with the study of spread monolayers, monolayers transferred to solid supports by the Langmuir-Blodgett technique, self-assembled monolayers, and vesicle systems. The principle instrumental methods of characterization remained electrochemical techniques and optical methods (resonance Raman, UV-VIS and surface enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy). Specific compounds of interest comprised chlorophylls, porphyrins, synthetic redox-active species and protein/peptide systems.
