Transmetalation with New Elements (U.S.-Egypt Cooperative Science; Science in Developing Countries)

技术描述：这个由美国东北大学和亚历山大大学参与的美国-埃及合作研究项目是多金属化学的一般领域。这一合作努力涉及多核材料的金属交换。项目资金将使埃及亚历山大大学的Mohamed A.El-Sayad博士和Ahmed El-Toukhy博士能够在东北大学Geoffrey Davies博士的实验室呆大约三个月。戴维斯博士还将访问亚历山大港大学并在那里工作三个月。拟议的新工作将建立在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。这个多金属化学项目通过使美国和埃及的顶尖专家能够将互补的人才结合在一起，并在彼此感兴趣和有能力的领域汇集研究资源，实现了促进科学知识的计划目标。

Technical Narrative: This U.S.-Egypt collaborative research project involving Northeastern University and Alexandria University is in the general area of polymetallic chemistry. This collaborative effort relates to the metal exchange of polynuclear materials. Project funding will enable Drs. Mohamed A. El-Sayad and Ahmed El-Toukhy from Alexandria University, Egypt, to spend approximately three months in the laboratory of Dr. Geoffrey Davies at Northeastern University. Dr. Davies will visit and work at Alexandria University for a three month period as well. The proposed new work will build on the past efforts of the 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. This project in polymetallic chemistry fulfills the program objective of advancing scientific knowledge by enabling leading experts in the United States and Egypt to combine complementary talents and pool research resources in areas of strong mutual interest and competence.
