Coordination Chemistry of Novel Main Group Anions

这个续展奖项是在无机化学、生物无机化学和有机金属化学项目中授予克莱姆森大学的，以支持约瑟夫·W·科利斯博士的研究。本论文的主要工作是：(1)过渡金属硫化物羰基化合物的合成与表征；(2)过渡金属羰基化合物与砷、磷硫化物、硒化合物形成的混合主族阴离子簇合物的合成与表征；(3)以上述化学为基础的固相材料的动力学控制合成。熔盐和超临界溶剂的使用将被用来在中温区域制备固态簇合物，在那里不会发生热力学稳定的产物的分解。对新型主族阴离子配位化学的研究将提供新的过渡金属硫化物、新的混合主族阴离子团簇和新的固态材料。可能的应用包括催化、润滑、电池组件和半导体。

This renewal award is made in the Inorganic, Bioinorganic and Organometallic Chemistry Program to Clemson University in support of the research of Dr. Joseph W. Kolis. The thrusts of the research will be: (1) the synthesis and characterization of transition metal chalcogenide carbonyls, (2) the synthesis and characterization of mixed main group anion clusters prepared from transition metal carbonyls and arsenic and phosphorous sulfides and selenides, and (3) the synthesis under kinetically-controlled conditions of solid-state materials based on the above chemistry. The use of molten salts and supercritical solvents will be employed to prepare solid-state clusters in a mid-temperature regime where decomposition to thermodynamically stable products does not occur. %%% An investigation into the coordination chemistry of novel main group anions will provide new transition metal chalcogenides, new mixed main group anion clusters and new solid-state materials. Possible applications are catalysis, lubrication, battery components and semiconductors.
