Preparation, Characterization, and Chemistry of Technetium Oxide Complexes

该奖项为女性研究计划资助项目，由化学系颁发给纽约亨特学院城市大学化学系的Lynn C. Francesconi博士。研究了钛氧化合物的键合、结构和反应性。在规划期间，将尝试将Tc及其同族元素Re纳入钼和钨的多氧阴离子中的两种策略。这项初步研究的成功完成将使人们能够继续合成各种各样含有技术-氧键的化合物。该领域研究的一个长期目标是使锝在硼硅酸盐或磷酸盐玻璃中分离或固定，它具有核废料场地污染物中常见的长寿命同位素。

This award in the Research Planning Grant for women program is made by the Chemistry Division to Dr. Lynn C. Francesconi of the Chemistry Department, Hunter College-City University of New York. The bonding, structure, and reactivity of technitium-oxygen compounds would be investigated. During the planning period, two strategies for incorporating Tc, and its congener Re, into polyoxoanions of molybdenum and tungsten would be attempted. Successful completion of this preliminary research would allow work to proceed on synthesis of a wide variety of compounds containing technitium-oxygen bonds. A long-term goal of research in this area is to enable the separation or immobilization of technetium, which has a long-lived isotope common in nuclear waste site contaminants, in borosilicate or phosphate glasses.
