该奖项是作为博士的启动补助金增量。 勒纳的博士后奖学金化学奖，以支持 他在俄勒冈州州立大学的研究。 博士的推力。 勒纳的研究是高度氧化石墨的合成 氟化物通过新的化学途径。 待研究的合成将不使用元素氟 作为氧化剂。相反，强大的，但方便，氧化剂，如 作为Mn（VII）和Cr（VI）与含有 小的、容易嵌入的离子，如氟化物或二氟化物 将被利用。这些反应可以在如下条件下进行： 环境条件下在含水酸溶剂中。一种变体将 可以使用石墨盐，例如稳定的 氟代金属酸盐或氧代金属酸盐阴离子，而不是石墨作为 起始材料。结构、电子和 氟化石墨的电化学性质将是 通过X射线衍射、四探针电导率检查 测量、振动光谱和库仑 还原

This award is made as the starter grant increment of Dr. Lerner's Postdoctoral Fellowship in Chemistry Award in support of his research at Oregon State University. The thrust of Dr. Lerner's research is the synthesis of highly oxidized graphite fluorides by novel chemical routes. The synthesis to be examined will not employ elemental fluorine as an oxidant. Instead, powerful, but convenient, oxidants such as Mn(VII) and Cr(VI) in combination with solutions containing small, readily-intercalated ions such as fluoride or bifluoride will be utilized. These reactions can be carried out under ambient conditions in aqueous acid solvents. A variation will be to employ graphite salts such as those of stable fluorometallate or oxometallate anions rather than graphite as a starting material. The structural, electronic and electrochemical properties of the graphite fluorides will be examined by X-ray diffraction, 4-probe conductivity measurements, vibrational spectroscopy and coulometric reduction.
