NSF Young Investigator: The Chemistry of Fullerenes

美国加州大学洛杉矶分校化学与生物化学系的Yves F. Rubin博士获得美国国家科学基金会青年研究员（NYI）奖，以支持他的研究和教学活动。鲁宾教授的研究重点是巴克敏斯特富勒烯的功能化，重点是制备具有生物相关性的化合物和由单和区域选择性控制的多环加成而产生的新材料。此外，还将研究以碗状前体乙炔为原料合成巴克敏斯特富勒烯及其内嵌金属配合物的方法。鲁宾博士的教学活动的重点将是本科和研究生阶段的课程开发。

9457693 Rubin With this National Science Foundation Young Investigator (NYI) award, the Synthetic Organic Program of the Chemistry Division is supporting the research and teaching activities of Dr. Yves F. Rubin of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry of the University of California, Los Angeles. The focus of Professor Rubin's research is the functionalization of buckminsterfullerene with an emphasis on the preparation of compounds with biological relevance and new materials that arise from mono- and regioselectively controlled multicycloadditions. Also, the total synthesis of buckminsterfullerene and its endohedral metal complexes from acetylenic, bowl-shaped precursors will be investigated. The focus of Dr. Rubin's teaching activities will be curriculum development at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
