The Development of Novel Cyclopentadienyl Ligands ContainingGroup 13 Element (B, A1 and Ga) Heteroannular Bridges

这项研究计划拨款将使帕梅拉·夏皮罗博士能够 启动一项研究计划，该计划需要合成本特 具有新型杂环桥的茂金属配合物。的 桥将涉及第13族元素B、Al或Ga。这些 提供了一个转换的机会 不同反应状态之间通过与 刘易斯基地。手性刘易斯碱的作用也将是 调查，并将确定是否手性可以 在金属中心处产生。 %%% 研究规划赠款金颁发给尚未 他们的研究获得了联邦资助。夏皮罗医生是 爱达荷州大学的一名新教员， 启动一项研究计划， 一类新型催化分子， 在聚合物工业中具有重要的商业意义。

This research planning grant will enable Dr. Pamela Shapiro to initiate a research program which entails the synthesis of bent metallocene complexes with novel heteroannular bridges. The bridges will involve the group 13 elements B, Al, or Ga. These have the virtue of presenting an opportunity for switching between different reaction states through coordination with Lewis bases. The effect of chiral Lewis bases will also be investigated and it will be determined whether chirality can be induced at the metal center. %%% Research planning grants are awarded to women who have not yet been awarded federal funding for their research. Dr. Shapiro is a new faculty member at the University of Idaho and will be initiating a research program leading to the preparation of a class of novel catalytic molecules which could become commercially important in the polymer industry.
