Solid State Strutural Chemistry of Inorganic Phosphates - U.S. - Morocco

摘要叙述描述：本提案支持俄克拉荷马州立大学化学教授伊丽莎白·M·霍尔特博士与A.Boukhari博士及其研究生、摩洛哥拉巴特穆罕默德五世大学化学系的Ahmed Alaoui先生的合作。作为背景，摩洛哥拥有世界上最大的磷酸盐储量。这项拟议的磷酸盐研究继续进行，穆罕默德五世大学固态实验室和俄亥俄州立大学于1986年开始合作研究。摩洛哥调查人员一直在他们的实验室中对磷酸盐的二元体系进行系统研究。拟将Alaoui先生带到俄亥俄州立大学学习单晶衍射方法，并对一些以前未知材料的结晶磷酸盐进行X射线衍射研究。在这六个月接近尾声时，阿劳伊先生的研究主管布哈里博士将访问俄亥俄州立大学，以评估研究进展，并确定他们未来研究的方向。此外，他还将熟悉霍尔特博士正在进行的高温合成研究。在来访的摩洛哥调查人员完成研究并返回摩洛哥后，霍尔特博士将访问穆罕默德五世大学的固态实验室，利用该实验室的介电设备能力完成本提案的最后阶段。此次访问将为规划进一步合作提供机会。范围：这项提案汇集了两个国家在磷酸盐固态化学领域工作的大学的研究人员。研究人员在磷酸盐的化学研究方面有不同但互补的知识和经验。他们的实验室拥有独特和有价值的技术能力，可以单独或共同帮助他们取得更高水平的科学成就。这项建议确实符合促进国际科学知识交流的发展中国家科学计划的目标，也确实有助于加强发展中国家的科学。

Abstract Narrative Description: This proposal supports the collaboration of Dr. Elizabeth M. Holt, Professor of Chemistry, Oklahoma State University, and Dr. A. Boukhari and his graduate student, Mr. Ahmed Alaoui of the Department de Chemie of the Mohammed V University of Rabat, Morocco. As background, Morocco possesses the largest reserves of phosphate of any country in the world. This proposed research into phosphates continues research collaboration began in 1986 between the solid state laboratory of Mohammed V University and OSU. The Moroccan investigators have been carrying out in their laboratory a systematic study of a binary system of phosphates. It is proposed to bring Mr. Alaoui to OSU for six months to learn single crystal diffraction methods and to carry out X-ray diffraction studies on a number of crystalline phosphates, which are previously unknown materials. Near the end of the six months, Dr. Boukhari, Mr. Alaoui's research director, will visit OSU to evaluate the progress of research and to determine the course of their future research. In addition, he will familiarize himself with the high temperature synthesis research being conducted by Dr. Holt. After the completion of the research by the visiting Moroccan investigators and their return to Morocco, Dr. Holt will visit the solid state laboratory of the Mohammed V University to use the dielectric equipment capabilities of that laboratory to complete the final phase of this proposal. The visit will provide an opportunity for planning further collaboration. Scope: This proposal brings together investigators from universities of two countries working in the field of the solid state chemistry of phosphates. The investigators have differing but complementary knowledge and experience in the chemical research of phosphates. Their laboratories have distinct and valuable technical capabilities that may assist them singly or collectively to higher levels of scientific achievement. This proposal does meet the objectives of the Science in Developing Countries Program of advancing the international exchange of scientific knowledge and does contribute to the enhancement of science in the developing country.
