U.S.- France Cooperative Research: Metalloporphyrin Catalyzed Oxidations

这个为期三年的奖项支持美国加州大学圣地亚哥分校的Teddy G. Traylor和法国巴黎勒内笛卡尔大学的Daniel Mansuy在化学领域的合作研究。他们的研究目标是利用过氧化氢、二氧或其他氧化剂开发有效的催化剂。他们将研究被称为金属卟啉的催化剂的潜力，这种催化剂具有电负性取代取代基。这些将转化为水溶性形式，肥皂状材料和聚合物，然后附着在固体表面。该项目利用了美国和法国研究人员在卟啉化学和氧化催化方面的互补专业知识。本项目提出的有机催化氧化具有重要的实验室和工业应用价值。这项提议的研究可能会产生重要的新催化剂，用于使用容易获得且便宜的氧化剂（如过氧化氢）氧化有机分子。

This three-year award supports U.S.-France cooperative research in chemistry between Teddy G. Traylor of the University of California, San Diego, and Daniel Mansuy of the Universite Rene Descartes, Paris, France. The objective of their research is to develop effective catalysts using hydrogen peroxide, dioxygen, or other oxidants. They will examine the potential of catalysts, known as metal porphyrins, which have electronegatively substituted substituents. These will be converted into water soluble forms, soap-like materials, and polymers, and then attached to solid surfaces. The project takes advantage of complementary expertise of the U.S. and French investigators in both porphyrin chemistry and in oxidation catalysis. Catalyzed oxidations of organics, as proposed in this project, have important laboratory and industrial applications. The proposed research could result in significant new catalysts for the oxidation of organic molecules using readily available and inexpensive oxidants, such as hydrogen peroxide.
