Carbene Migratory Insertions, Metalloaromatics and Complexesof Strained Alkenes and Tropynes

这项来自有机动力学项目的资助支持佛罗里达大学盖恩斯维尔分校的William M. Jones教授研究有机金属化学中的三个相关课题。第一个问题涉及铁三联体中碳烯迁移插入的发展。本化学集中于后期过渡金属铁、钌和锇的碳配合物的使用，旨在探索催化迁移插入和不稳定配合物的重排，并将比较它们的迁移插入能力。研究的第二个主题涉及合成主要是锆配合物的分子含有高应变的多键，特别强调环累积烯和环丙烯。第三个领域涉及tropynes， metalloazulene和metalloben苯的过渡金属配合物的形成和反应。在这个项目中，William M. Jones教授将研究晚期过渡金属铁、钌和锇的碳络合物的反应性。工作将集中在碳迁移插入，在结构和合成方面的复杂应变烯烃和炔烃，并在合成新的金属芳烃。

This grant from the Organic Dynamics Program supports the work of Professor William M. Jones at the University of Florida, Gainesville to study three related topics in organometallic chemistry. The first concerns the development of carbene migratory insertions in the iron triad. This chemistry concentrates on the use of carbene complexes of the late transition metals iron, ruthenium, and osmium and aims to explore catalyzed migratory insertions and rearrangements of unstabilized complexes, and also will compare their aptitude for migratory insertions. The second topic of study concerns the synthesis of mainly zirconium complexes with molecules containing highly strained multiple bonds with particular emphasis on cyclic cumulenes and cyclopropenes. The third area deals with the formation and reactions of transition metal complexes of tropynes, metalloazulenes, and metallobenzenes. In this project Professor William M. Jones will study reactivity aspects of carbene complexes of the late transition metals iron, ruthenium, and osmium. The work will concentrate on carbene migratory insertions, on structural and synthetic aspects of complexed strained alkenes and alkynes, and on the synthesis of novel metalloaromatics.
