Dr. Marsha Baar's research involves the synthesis and characterization
of a novel class of compound in which cryptands, three-dimensional cage
molecules, are attached to fluorescing coumarins. This fluorescent portion
of the molecule should enable the quantitative detection of the coumarocryptand
and the host coumarocryptate. Dr. Baar is synthesizing a coumarocryptand
that will selectively bind the heavy metal Pb2+. The
compound could have potential clinical use in the detection of lead levels
in blood.
