Biography
Dr. Daniell Mattern is Margaret McLean Coulter Professor Professor of Chemistry & Biochemistry at The University of Mississippi. He has done his B.A. from Kalamazoo College, M.S.,from Stanford University, Ph.D. from Stanford University, and Postdoctoral Fellow in Tufts University School of Medicine and P University of California at San Diego. He is research aims in preparing compounds containing electron- donor and electron-acceptor groups, separated by a bridge of non-conducting sigma bonds. Each “D-sigma-A” target also typically contains pendant lipid tail(s) to help the molecules assemble as an ordered Langmuir-Blodgett film, or pendant alkyl thiol(s), sulifde(s), or disulfide(s) to help them assemble as an ordered monolayer on a gold surface.
Research Interest
Organic Donor-sigma-Acceptor molecules, fatty acyl analogs of acarnidine, aromatic iodination
