| Certain tungsten compounds, when excited by a photon of light energy, have been found to be extremely efficient electron donors in redox reactions. To date, however, such tungsten compounds have either been unstable, decomposing quickly at room temperature, or possess a short-lived inefficient excited state. The purpose of this research is to refine the process of amine to isocyanide conversion and then synthesize a more robust tungsten complex which could be used in the treatment of waste water or other chemical reactions that would be driven by sunlight alone. |
