Aerobic Coupling Reactions Catalyzed by Binuclear Copper Compounds

将对双核铜化合物催化诱导的有氧偶联反应进行研究，以发现在合成和分离过程中具有商业和科学意义的其他偶联系统，并填补对现有有氧偶联反应的理解空白。将寻求比目前已知的更有效的催化剂、配体和溶剂的新组合。此外，还将探讨表面活性剂和不同化合物之间的交叉偶联反应可以极大地提高好氧偶联反应的工程潜力的可能性，并确定紫外线对这些反应的影响。最后，将设计具有双核结构的聚合物负载催化剂来支持特定的偶联反应。这些新系统可能导致从水溶液中去除有毒和有害的有机化合物以及回收某些类型的生化化合物的新工艺。

Aerobic coupling reactions which are induced catalytically by binuclear copper compounds will be investigated to uncover additional couplig systems which are of commercial and scientific interest in synthesis and separation processes, and to fill in existing gaps in the understanding of existing aerobic coupling reactions. New combinations of catalysts, ligands, and solvents will be sought which are more effective than those presently known. In addition, the possibility will be examined that surfactants and cross-coupling reactions between different compounds may greatly enhance the engineering potential of aerobic coupling reactions, and the effect of ultraviolet light on these reactions will be determined. Finally, polymer-supported catalysts with binuclear structures will be designed to support specific coupling reactions. These new systems may lead to novel processes for the removal of toxic and hazardous organic compounds from aqueous solutions and for the recovery of certain types of biochemical compounds.
