Description:Seminar Abstract:\n\nFrustrated Radical Pairs (FRPs) are an eme
 rging strategy for harnessing controlled single-electron\nreactivity via s
 terically or electronically mismatched donor-acceptor pairs. Unlike tradit
 ional two-electron\nFrustrated Lewis Pairs (FLPs)\, FRPs generate open-she
 ll intermediates under mild\, metal-free conditions. This\ncreates new opp
 ortunities for selective bond formation. However\, their use in carbon fun
 ctionalization remains\nlargely underexplored. This proposal will develop 
 new FRP platforms by pairing readily tunable donor and acceptor\npartners.
  The proposed FRPs will be evaluated by UV/Vis\, EPR\, and transient absor
 ption spectroscopy to validate\ntheir formation and lifetimes\; all are pr
 edicted to undergo SET based on the approximate differences in donor\nioni
 zation energies and acceptor electron affinities. These will enable alkene
  difunctionalization\, heterocycle\nsynthesis\, and selective C–H fluori
 nation\, establishing FRPs as versatile tools for modern synthetic chemist
