With funding from the Organic Dynamics Program, Professor Stang at the University of Utah will investigate the chemistry of molecular squares. The recent discovery of these complexes by the principal investigator provides the basis for this award. In this endeavor the dynamic chemistry as well as the synthesis of new models will be investigated. Molecular squares that are derived from the self-assembly of organometallic and inorganic complexes are unique materials. They are proposed to be useful for general catalysis, chiral catalysis, molecular recognition and electronic devices. An electron rich cavity of 20-30 angstroms within the squares may provide a unique host-guest system for catalysis. An attempt shall be made to incorporate a myriad of transition metals at the corners of the square to provide new electronic and three dimensional characteristics. New molecular structures prepared by scientists often provide for new materials and material properties. In addition to yielding new practical applications, these new systems stimulate others to expand on the paradigm to produce unique compounds and chemistry. This project results from an initial discovery by the principal investigator and has gained considerable momentum of late. It promises to have significant impact on catalysis, molecular recognition, and ultimately nanoscale molecular devices.

通过有机动力学计划的资助，犹他大学的Stang教授将研究分子广场的化学。 首席研究人员最近发现这些综合体的发现提供了该奖项的基础。在这项工作中，将研究动态化学以及新模型的合成。从有机金属和无机络合物的自组装中得出的分子正方形是独特的材料。他们被认为可用于一般催化，手性催化，分子识别和电子设备。正方形内20-30埃埃埃的富电子腔可能会提供唯一的宿主 - 圈系统用于催化。试图在正方形的角度掺入无数的过渡金属，以提供新的电子和三维特性。 科学家准备的新分子结构通常提供新的材料和材料特性。除了产生新的实际应用外，这些新系统还刺激了其他系统以扩展范式，以产生独特的化合物和化学。该项目是由主要研究人员的最初发现引起的，最近获得了相当大的势头。它有望对催化，分子识别和最终纳米级分子设备产生重大影响。
