Oxidation-Reduction Mechanisms

在这个项目中，无机，生物无机和 诺贝尔化学奖获得者亨利陶贝 在化学，1983年）的斯坦福大学将调查 氧化态钒的配位化学 在非水性和水性溶剂中为5+。最终达 设计一种有用的催化体系， 有机底物的分子氧。这样的系统具有重要的 在合成有机化学中的影响，以及在 了解基本的氧转移过程。 这项工作将包括调查 不同配体对钒的不同氧化态 和溶剂，结构和组成的较高 氧化态物种，各种氧化还原化学 钒的氧化态，和动力学 取代和氧转移反应。

In this project within the Inorganic, Bioinorganic and Organometallic Chemistry Program, Henry Taube (Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, 1983) of Stanford University will investigate the coordination chemistry of vanadium in the oxidation states 2+ to 5+ in non-aqueous and aqueous solvents. The ultimate aim is to devise a useful catalytic system for the oxidation of organic substrates by dioxygen. Such a system has important implications in synthetic organic chemistry as well as in the understanding of fundamental oxygen transfer processes. The effort will include investigations of the stabilization of the different oxidation states of vanadium by various ligands and solvents, the structure and composition of the higher oxidation state species, the redox chemistry of the various oxidation states of vanadium, and the kinetics of the substitution and oxygen transfer reactions.
