  1. Smart Molecular Design for One-Dimensional n-Type Nanostructures: Controlling Electronic Properties and MorphologiesDong-Chan Lee, University of Nevada Las Vegas, DMR 0846479 Pyrazine-Acene Series I Through collaborative investigations involving both experimental and theoretical techniques, we found that the energy level of LUMO (ELUMO) can be effectively tuned by modifying a specific portion of Pyrazine-Acenes (Series I). In addition, HOMO-LUMO energy gap (Egap) was compressed as a result of lowering ELUMO. Learning from Pyrazine-Acene Series I, we designed five new molecules (Series II), which can tune not only ELUMO but EHOMO as well, to tune Egap more effectively. Pyrazine-Acene Series II molecules have been successfully synthesized, and they showed colors from orange to green, which is indicative of effective Egap control. -3.27eV -3.43eV -3.54eV ELUMO -3.87eV -3.95eV EHOMO -5.86eV -5.93eV -6.01eV -6.04eV -6.11eV Pyrazine-Acene Series II
