U.S.-Japan Cooperative Research: Cluster Derived Heterogeneous Catalysts

该奖项将使Duward F.西北大学的施赖弗 大学与Masaru Ichikawa教授合作 日本北海道大学。 他们将研究金属簇 化合物作为多相催化反应的催化剂前体 将一氧化碳转化为含氧化合物。 一氧化碳与有机物的催化结合 产品是一个具有相当重要经济意义的领域。 这 合作将使两个不同群体的人才， 承担这个问题。 施赖弗的团队是准备 金属簇合物，他们已经开发出多功能的新 用于混合金属簇合物合成的前体。 市川的小组是 在多相催化中表现出色，特别是在 团簇衍生催化剂的研究

This award will enable Professor Duward F. Shriver of Northwestern University to collaborate with Professor Masaru Ichikawa of Hokkaido University, Japan. They will study metal cluster compounds as catalyst precursors for the heterogeneous catalytic conversion of carbon monoxide to oxygen containing compounds. The catalytic incorporation of carbon monoxide into organic products is an area of considerable economic importance. This collaboration will bring the talents of two different groups to bear on the problem. Shriver's group is expert in the preparation of metal cluster compounds and they have developed versatile new precursors for mixed metal cluster syntheses. Ichikawa's group is exerienced in heterogeneous catalysis, and in particular, in the study of cluster-derived catalysts.
