Cooperative Research in Transmetalation Mechanisms (U.S.-Middle East Cooperative Science; Science in DevelopingCountries).

描述：该提案支持东北大学的Geoffrey Davies博士和约旦河西岸耶路撒冷阿布迪斯科学与技术学院的Adnan Ali教授的合作。这一合作努力涉及多核材料的金属交换。拟议的新工作将建立在两位研究人员过去的努力基础上，包括以较低的成本创造更大、更多样化的多金属分子，以及将这些分子用作新金属合金和化学催化剂的来源，以用于更新的系统。易金属化现象的发展将导致在有机和有机金属化学中建立新的研究领域。发展中国家科学计划的目的是促进国际科学知识的交流，并为发展中国家的科学基础设施作出贡献。这项建议符合这些标准。范围：这些国际合作者正在开发处理金属的新方法，这些方法很可能导致在实验室和公共部门使用的独特的、意想不到的新产品。这项研究的另一个好处是为攻读有机化学学位的学生提供了丰富的学习机会。这项研究的另一个价值在于增进研究小组的科学技术知识及其在各自机构内的影响。

Description: This proposal supports the collaboration of Dr. Geoffrey Davies, Northeastern University, and Professor Adnan Ali, Abu-Dis College of Science and Technology, Jerusalem, West Bank. This collaborative effort relates to the metal exchange of polynuclear materials. The proposed new work will build on the past efforts of both investigators including the creation of larger and more diverse multi-metal molecules at lower cost, and the use of these molecules as sources of new metal alloys and chemical catalysts to be used in still newer systems. Development of the transmetalation phenomenon will lead to the establishment of new areas of study in organic and organometallic chemistry. The purpose of the Science in Developing Countries Program is to advance the exchange of international scientific knowledge and to contribute to the scientific infrastructure of developing countries. This proposal meets those criteria. Scope: These international collaborators are in the process of developing new approaches to handling metals that can very possibly lead to new and unexpected products of unique character for use in both the laboratory and the public sector. An additional benefit of this research is the provision of a wealth of learning opportunities for students pursuing degrees in organic chemistry. Another value of this research is in the advancement of the scientific and technical knowledge of the research teams and their impact within their respective institutions.
