This award from the Inorganic, Bioinorganic and Organometallic Chemistry Program will support research in the general area of organometallic chemistry, with particular emphasis on reactions of carbon dioxide promoted by organometallic compounds. The practical interest in such reactions derives from the strong possibility that carbon dioxide will be used as a source of carbon for chemical synthesis in the future, in for example reactions with hydrogen derived from the decomposition of water by solar energy. The long-term goal of the project is a clear mechanistic view of carbon-hydrogen, carbon-carbon and carbon-oxygen bond forming processes resulting from the insertion of carbon dioxide into M-H, M-C and M-O bonds. Reactivity studies have revealed a similarity in reaction characteristics for carbon-hydrogen and carbon-carbon bond forming reactions involving anionic octahedral metal derivatives and neutral square-planar metal complexes. It has further been shown that knowledge gained from investigating these different processes occurring on individual metal centers is transferable to metal centers where both reaction types are possible. The insight gained from transition metal-carbon dioxide chemistry will be used in exploring potential uses of carbon dioxide as a feedstock for the synthesis of organic chemicals. Specific areas to be explored include decarboxylation mechanisms of metallo-formates and -carbonates, alkyl-, aryl- and silyl-oxide chemistry of low-valent metals, studies related to C-H activation and functionalization, and catalytic processes involving carbon dioxide.

该奖项来自无机化学、生物无机化学和金属有机化学计划，将支持金属有机化学一般领域的研究，特别是有机金属化合物促进二氧化碳反应的研究。对这类反应的实际兴趣源于二氧化碳很有可能被用作未来化学合成的碳源，例如与太阳能分解水所产生的氢的反应。该项目的长期目标是对二氧化碳插入M-H、M-C和M-O键所产生的碳-氢、碳-碳和碳-氧键的形成过程有一个明确的机械观点。反应性研究表明，包括阴离子八面体金属衍生物和中性方形平面金属络合物的碳-氢和碳-碳键形成反应的反应特征相似。这进一步表明，通过研究发生在单个金属中心上的这些不同过程所获得的知识可以转移到两种反应类型都可能发生的金属中心。从过渡金属-二氧化碳化学中获得的见解将用于探索二氧化碳作为合成有机化学品原料的潜在用途。要探索的具体领域包括金属甲酸盐和碳酸盐的脱羧基机理，低价金属的烷基、芳基和硅氧基化学，与C-H活化和官能化有关的研究，以及涉及二氧化碳的催化过程。
