Description:About the Seminar:\nThe Matson Group is investigating the synth
 esis\, characterization and reactivity of multimetallic metal-oxide assemb
 lies. Our principle interests rest in the exploration of unique redox prop
 erties and cooperative reactivity of heterometallic assemblies for multiel
 ectron chemical processes. Here\, we report the synthesis and characteriza
 tion of a family of vanadium oxide clusters\, which serve as molecular mod
 els for surface-functionalized and doped nanoparticles. These hexavanadate
  architectures studied by our laboratory are soluble in organic solvent an
 d constitute monodisperse\, crystalline systems that can be characterized 
 by 1H NMR\, infrared and electronic absorption spectroscopies\, as well as
  cyclic voltammetry and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Our ability to i
 nstall cationic and anionic dopants in the form of transition metal ions\,
  oxygen-atom vacancies and halide-defect sites allows for the interrogatio
 n of electronic phenomenon resulting from these atomically precise modific
 ations. This work furthers our understanding the physicochemical consequen
 ces of modifications of surface chemistry of nanoscale systems and the inc
 orporation of elemental dopants\, fostering the development of new strateg
 ies for storing renewable power (e.g. wind\, solar) through its conversion
  to electrochemical energy and chemical fuels.\n&nbsp\; 4:00 pm
