U.S.-Mexico Cooperative Research: Structural and Spectral Studies of Biologically Significant Metal Complexes

这个美洲项目奖将资助Douglas X. West博士和两名来自伊利诺伊州立大学的学生前往墨西哥与墨西哥国立自治大学（UNAM）的Jesus Valdes- Martinez博士合作进行一个研究项目的旅行和相关费用。他们将进行研究，以合成和表征一系列的大环和多核金属配合物。这些复合物的研究将提出有趣的化学挑战以及生物活性的可能性。该项目将允许两名研究人员和他们的学生之间进行强有力的互补互动。墨西哥方面将为合作带来他们在晶体结构和固态信息方面的专业知识，而美国小组将提供有机配体、光谱数据和墨西哥化合物的解释。＊＊＊

9600349 West This Americas Program award will fund travel and related expenses for Dr. Douglas X. West and two students from Illinois State University, to travel to Mexico to collaborate on a research project with Dr. Jesus Valdes- Martinez, of the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM). They will conduct studies to synthesize and characterize a series of macrocyclic and polynuclear metal complexes. The study of these complexes will present interesting chemical challenges as well as the possibility of biological activity. The project will allow for a strong complementary interaction between the two researchers and their students. The Mexican side will bring to the collaboration their expertise in crystal structures and solid state information, while the U.S. group will provide organic ligands, spectroscopy data, and interpretation of the Mexican compounds. ***
