US-Hungary Joint Fund Research on Copper Quinone Chemistry

这个美国和匈牙利研究项目的主要目标 维斯普雷姆大学的加博尔·斯皮尔博士和 科罗拉多大学的科特兰特·皮尔庞特博士将 检查铜所涉及的基本步骤- 催化氧化过程发生在两个合成 和生物系统。 工作将集中在分子内 铜醌电子转移，分子氧 还原铜中心的配位和活化， 以及化学计量和催化基质氧化。 该项目的资金是通过美国-匈牙利 联合基金，布达佩斯，根据既定的 指南

The primary objective of this US-Hungary research project between Dr. Gabor Speier of the University of Veszprem and Dr. Cortlandt Pierpont of the University of Colorado is to examine the fundamental steps involved in the copper- catalyzed oxidation processes that occur in both synthetic and biological systems. Work will focus on intramolecular copper-quinone electron transfer, molecular oxygen coordination and activation of the reduced copper center, and stoichiometric and catalytic substrate oxidation. Funds for the project are awarded through the US-Hungary Joint Fund, Budapest, in accordance with established guidelines.
