Description
The proposed project aims to synthesize optically active chiral compounds. The current selected procedure for synthesizing chiral molecules utilizes carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that is harmful to the environment, as a feedstock to produce high value organic electronics for use on aboard spacecraft. These resulting chiral molecules offer a range of functional properties that can enhance device performance and reliability, critical for space applications. The procedure for synthesizing the compounds is currently under review to validate the method as reproducible and scalable. Ultimately, the project can have a significant impact on space exploration and technology by providing a sustainable and effective approach to developing advanced organic electronics for use aboard spacecraft.
