“Science for Future Molecular Systems” Part 1 Corrole’s Chemistry: From basic science to advanced technologies Prof. Zeev Gross (Schulich Faculty of Chemistry, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology) ◆DATE 28 th Nov, 2011 (Mon) ◆SCHEDULE 　 Lecture 1, 2 : 　9: 00 a. m. - 12: 00 p. m. 　 ◆VENUE OPERA 3 F-301, Ito campus ◆ LECTURER Prof. Zeev Gross 　(Technion-Israel Institute of Technology) ◆ TITLE Corrole’s Chemistry: From basic science to 　 advanced technologies 　 Professor Gross will describe in detail his 12 years work on corroles that started with the 1999 discovery of the first onepot synthesis of these high potential macrocycles. The basic science includes organic synthesis, structural c har ac te r i z ati on, advanc e d spe c tr osc opy, tunabl e photophysics, and elucidation of the fundamental coordination chemistry of the corresponding metal complexes. Corrole-based technologies that will be emphasized are catalysis of organic transformation, the delicate control of pro- versus anti-oxidant activity, light driven processes, small molecule activation, and pre-clinical investigations for treating various diseases.
