Chemistry of Free Atoms and Reactive Clusters/Particles

这个项目，在无机，生物无机和有机化学计划，是肯尼斯J. Klabunde教授的研究在堪萨斯州立大学的“自由原子”和小颗粒的应用的延续。 待研究的具体课题包括：1）使用金属原子来产生新配体如σ键合的硅烷的新芳烃金属络合物，2）第2族金属原子与烷基或芳基卤化物反应以产生簇，所述簇在概念上可被认为是烷基或芳基金属卤化物与少量（1-3）附加金属原子的组合，3）将两种元素的金属蒸气结合成小的双元素颗粒作为亚稳合金或混合物，和4）通过将金属蒸气沉积到有机溶剂中产生胶体，以及它们在聚合物基底上产生金属膜中的应用。 气态金属原子的凝聚正迅速成为产生具有许多有趣和重要技术应用的新材料的重要方法。 该项目关注的是对金属原子如何联合收割机结合在一起以及与其他活性物质结合，以获得具有特定性能的材料的基本理解。

This project, in the Inorganic, Bioinorganic, and Organometallic Chemistry Program, is a continuation of Professor Kenneth J. Klabunde's studies at Kansas State University of applications of "free atoms" and small particles. Specific topics to be investigated include 1) the use of metal atoms to produce novel arenemetal complexes of novel ligands such as sigma- bonded silanes, 2) the reaction of Group 2 metal atoms with alkyl or aryl halides to produce clusters that conceptionally may be considered as a combination of an alkyl or aryl metal halide with a small number (1-3) of additional metal atoms, 3) combination of metal vapors of two elements to small bielement particles as metastable alloys or mixtures, and 4) generation of colloids by deposition of metal vapors into organic solvents and their applications in generating films of metals on polymeric substrates. Condensation of gaseous metal atoms is rapidly becoming an important method of generating new materials with many interesting and important technological applications. This project is concerned with the fundamental understanding of exactly how metal atoms combine together, and with other reactive species, to give materials with specific properties.
