Meeting Gaithersburg Marriott Washingtonian Center Gaithersburg, Maryland June 3-5, 2019 Chemical Sciences, Geosciences, and Biosciences Division Office of Basic Energy Sciences Office of Science U.S. Department of Energy FOREWORD The 41st Department of Energy Solar Photochemistry Principal Investigators’ Meeting, sponsored by the Chemical Sciences, Geosciences, and Biosciences Division of the Office of Basic Energy Sciences, is being held June 3-5, 2019 at the Washingtonian Marriott in Gaithersburg, Maryland. These proceedings include the meeting agenda, abstracts of the formal presentations and posters, and a list of participants. The Solar Photochemistry Program supports fundamental, molecular-level research on solar energy capture and conversion in the condensed phase and at interfaces. This conference is the annual meeting of the grantees who conduct research with support from this Program. The gathering is intended to facilitate the exchange of ideas and foster collaboration among these researchers. The meeting this year features an invited presentation by Harry Atwater, Director of the Joint Center for Artificial Photosynthesis (JCAP). JCAP is the Department of Energy’s Fuels from Sunlight Energy Innovation Hub, a multi-investigator research and development center that was established in 2010 and renewed in 2015. Its mission is currently focused on creating a scientific foundation for the solar-driven conversion of carbon dioxide into renewable transportation fuels. Prof. Atwater will tell us about recent JCAP discoveries and research accomplishments. I would like to express my thanks to Justin Johnson who continues to spend part of his time as a detailee for the Solar Photochemistry Program, assisting with numerous critical behind-the- scenes tasks.

Duarte Road, Duarte, California 91010, United States ⊥Schulich Faculty of Chemistry, Technion—Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa 32000, Israel Abstract Corroles are exceptionally promising platforms for the development of agents for simultaneous cancer-targeting imaging and therapy. Depending on the element chelated by the corrole, these theranostic agents may be tuned primarily for diagnostic or therapeutic function. Versatile synthetic methodologies allow for the preparation of amphipolar derivatives, which form stable noncovalent conjugates with targeting biomolecules. These conjugates can be engineered for imaging, targeting, as well as therapeutic function within one theranostic assembly. In this review, we begin with a brief outline of corrole chemistry that has been uniquely useful in designing corrole-based anticancer agents. Then we turn attention to the early literature regarding corrole anticancer activity, which commenced one year after the first scalable synthesis was reported (1999–2000). In 2001, a major advance was made with the introduction of negatively charged corroles, as these molecules, being amphipolar, form stable conjugates with many proteins.

Therien An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Chemistry in the Graduate School of Duke University 2017 Copyright by Xiao Zhang 2017 Abstract The chemical industry depends on heterogeneous thermocatalytic processes to satisfy the ever-increasing demand for fuels and fertilizers. High temperatures and high pressures are generally required to accelerate chemical transformations and operate at practical rates. These harsh conditions, however, lead to huge energy consumption and other side effects, such as the lifetime of catalysts and parasitic formation of by-products. Light is used as an alternative energy input to drive chemical reactions on semiconducting photocatalysts, but the slow reaction rates and insufficient control of product selectivity hinder wide adaptation of photocatalysis. Plasmonic metal nanoparticles have been recently proposed as a new type of catalysts with photoactivities.
