Overview My research
subjects have included
benzene crystals,
reaction center proteins, chemically
modified DNA duplexes, and organometallic catalysts. I measured the temperature-independent density-of-states for the
lowest excited singlet state of crystalline benzene and showed that a Green's
function expansion of the Hamiltonian successfully modeled exciton band mixing
in isotopically doped benzene crystals.
I measured and assigned the primary electron-transfer steps in
photosynthetic bacteria. I also
explored light-driven electron-transfer reactions and other radiationless decay
processes in porphyrin, chlorophyll, and inorganic supramolecules. Much of this work required developing new
picosecond spectroscopic instrumentation and measurement techniques. My absorption kinetics experiments cover the
near-UV to near-IR spectral and 10-11 to 10-3 s temporal
ranges with exceptionally small ∆A errors. This powerful instrumental capability makes it possible to
investigate light-driven chemical reactions in both chemical and biochemical
systems. My recent research encompasses
the synthesis and physical characterization of covalently modified DNA
nucleosides and duplexes. This work is
focused on understanding the mechanisms of electron and hole transport through
DNA duplexes and hairpins as functions of the number and type of bases
separating covalently attached donors and acceptors. In January of 2001, GSU was granted a patent on the use of
photoinduced charge separation in DNA as a detection method for biological and
medical assays. We are currently
consulting with viral immunologists and electrical engineers to develop
photonic viral sensors based on this detection technology.
Work Experience
Georgia State
University
Department of
Chemistry
Atlanta,
Georgia 30303-3083
1989-present Professor of Chemistry. Began in the summer of 1989 to design and
construct laser kinetics, synthetic, and office spaces for occupancy in the
spring of 1990. Present research
activities concentrate on synthesizing, characterizing, and modeling covalently
modified DNA nucleosides, oligonucleotides and duplexes. In this work DNA
is labeled with redox active substituents to explore fundamental aspects of
both primary photoinduced electron transfer reactions in nucleosides and
subsequent secondary electron and hole transport in DNA duplexes. Today these studies are motivated by a
desire to advance our understanding of the molecular basis of DNA damage due to
ionizing radiation and to improve nucleic acid-based medical diagnostics
assays. However, in the future they are
also likely to be relevant to the DNA engineering of molecular-electronic and
nanomechanical devices. Another
initiative in this area involves both semi-empirical and ab initio quantum mechanical studies of the electronic properties
of solvated electron transfer products in nucleoside conjugates and duplexes.
Amoco
Technology Company, Amoco Research Center
Naperville, IL
60566
1985-1989 Staff Chemist - Physical
Technology Division. Demonstrated that the hybridization
specificity of short DNA oligomers allows them to function as templates for
assembling covalently attached molecular labels. Thus chemically modified
DNA duplexes can, in principle, now be constructed with specifically located
molecular subunits to carry out energy, electron, and proton transfer
reactions.
Directly
observed the key intermediate (likely a s-complex)
which leads to alkyl hydride formation after photoactivation of RhCl(CO)(PMe3)2 in
hydrocarbon solvents. This project used
picosecond optical and FT-IR spectroscopies to explore the reaction mechanisms
of organometallic and inorganic catalysts.
In particular, I studied intramolecular charge-transfer processes in Os
and Re complexes and C-H activation chemistry in Rh, Ir, Ni, Pd, and Pt
complexes. My strategy was to combine
synthesis, reactivity screening, and mechanistic studies to develop strongly
oxidizing inorganic complexes and homogeneous organometallic catalysts.

National Laboratory
Upton, New
York 11973
1977-1985 Chemist. Showed that cofacial diporphyrins mimicked the primary
charge separation in Photosystem II reaction centers and developed an
automated picosecond absorption spectrometer capable of observing chemical
intermediates from 10-11 to 10-3 s in the near-UV to near-IR spectral range. This project required coordinating
synthetic, electrochemical, and spectroscopic work among a number of
laboratories in the U.S., Canada, and England with the objective of developing
porphyrin, chlorophyll, and inorganic supramolecules capable of transforming
sunlight into chemical energy.

financial impacts of the Bell System's tax choices with respect to long-term
debt refunding opportunities.
1972-1974 MTS - Chemical Physics Group. Measured and assigned the primary electron-transfer
steps in reaction centers isolated from photosynthetic bacteria; developed the
