This award supports Dr. John J. Eisch of the Chemistry Department, SUNY at Binghamton, for collaboration in research with Dr. Carl Krueger of the Max Planck Institute for Coal Research in Muelheim, FRG. They are studying how nickel is able to catalyze chemical reactions in hydrocarbons. By measuring both the speed of certain well defined catalytic nickel compounds and the variations in their molecular structure, they hope to identify what features in the nickel catalyst structure have an accelerating or retarding influence on the speed of the hydrocarbon reactions it helps to catalyze. The German laboratory offers highly sophisticated facilities for structure determination, especially electron density maps, and for molecular calculations. The U.S. group has much experience in the kinetics of organometallic reactions and the detection of catalytic intermediates. The catalytic action of transition metals, such as nickel and iron, on unsaturated hydrocarbons has been found to lead to a versatile array of valuable organic chemicals. However, little is known about how transition metals are able to effect these extraordinary chemical reactions on a molecular basis. This research should provide a rational basis for predicting catalytic activity of nickel compounds.

该奖项表彰纽约州立大学宾厄姆顿分校化学系的John J.Eisch博士与位于FRG Muelheim的马克斯·普朗克煤炭研究所的Carl Krueger博士在研究方面的合作。他们正在研究镍如何能够催化碳氢化合物中的化学反应。通过测量某些定义明确的催化镍化合物的速度及其分子结构的变化，他们希望确定镍催化剂结构中的哪些特征对它有助于催化的碳氢反应的速度有加速或减缓的影响。德国的实验室为结构测定，特别是电子密度图和分子计算提供了非常复杂的设施。美国集团在金属有机反应动力学和催化中间体检测方面经验丰富。过渡金属，如镍和铁，对不饱和碳氢化合物的催化作用已被发现导致一系列有价值的有机化学品的多样性。然而，人们对过渡金属如何在分子基础上影响这些非凡的化学反应知之甚少。本研究为预测镍化合物的催化活性提供了合理的依据。
