U.S.-Polish Cooperative Research on Activation of Small Molecules on Polyoxometalate Surfaces

小行星9414097 这个美国-波兰联合合作研究“活化聚氧乙烯表面上的小分子”是博士迈克尔T。乔治敦大学的Pope和西里西亚大学的Krzysztof Filipek博士。 Pope博士目前的NSF资助CHE- 9215228“大型聚氧乙烯酸阴离子表面反应性的调节”。" 具体地说，主要研究者打算探索和/或开发小分子的激活（例如，NO、NO2、CO2、SO2、O2）通过适当改性的聚氧乙烯酸盐阴离子在水性和非水性溶剂中进行。 NO、O2、SO2和CO2与聚氧乙烯酸盐的结合已经在乔治敦和其他地方的早期工作中得到了证明。 Filipek博士最近的研究重点是用含铼的聚氧乙烯酸盐结合和多电子还原二氮和氮氧化物。 这与在Georgetown开发的关于多氧六酸盐的氧化还原化学和钨钌酸盐的表征的经验密切相关。 聚氧乙烯酸盐可逆地接受两个、四个或更多个电子的能力表明，可能存在将还原当量输送到结合的“底物”的途径。 很明显，由于兴趣高度重叠，两个研究项目都将从合作中受益。 这项拟议的聚氧乙烯酸酯化学研究通过使美国和波兰的领先专家能够在具有强烈共同兴趣和能力的领域联合收割机互补人才和汇集研究资源，实现了推进科学的计划目标。 ***

9414097 Pope This U.S.-Polish Joint Cooperative Research on "Activation of Small Molecules on Polyoxometalate Surfaces" is between Dr. Michael T. Pope of Georgetown University and Dr. Krzysztof Filipek of the University of Silesia. The proposed collaboration is related to Dr. Pope's current NSF grant, CHE- 9215228, "Modulation of Surface Reactivity of Large Polyoxometalate Anions." Specifically, the principal investigators intend to explore and/or develop the activation of small molecules (e.g., NO, NO2, CO2, SO2, O2) by appropriately modified polyoxometalate anions in aqueous and non-aqueous solvents. The binding of NO, O2, SO2, and CO2 to polyoxometalates has already been demonstrated in earlier work from Georgetown and elsewhere. The focus of Dr. Filipek's recent research has been on the binding and multi-electron reduction of dinitrogen and nitrogen oxides with ruthenium-containing polyoxometalates. this ties in closely with the experience developed at Georgetown regarding the redox chemistry of polyoxometalates, and the characterization of tungstoruthenates. The ability of polyoxometalates reversibly to accept two, four, or more electrons suggests that pathways could exist for channelling reduction equivalents to the bound "substrates.: It is clear because of the strong overlap in interests, both research programs will benefit from the collaboration. This proposed research in polyoxometalate chemistry fulfills the program objectives of advancing science by enabling leading experts in the U.S. and Poland to combine complementary talents and pool research resources in areas of strong mutual interest and competence. ***
