CAREER: Organoalkaline-earth Derivatives

这个无机化学、生物无机化学和有机金属化学项目的职业奖支持锡拉丘兹大学的卡琳·鲁兰特-圣吉的研究和教育计划。这项研究的目标是开发可靠的有机碱土衍生物的合成路线。初步研究将针对制备有机碱土物种和有机碱土卤化物的简便方法。将探索在合成无机、有机、聚合物和材料化学中的可能应用。更重的有机碱土衍生物相对于有机镁衍生物的优势将被研究。研究生和本科实验室的学生将参与这项工作，并将学习准备空气敏感化合物，并通过施伦克和干盒技术处理它们。鲁兰特-圣吉发展了一种综合的实验室经验，包括大四学生和一年级化学学生之间的指导，他们在其中准备和研究精心挑选的无机化合物。拉赫兰特-圣吉还参与了少数民族高中生学徒方案，并参与了高中教师和未来高中教师的培训。

This CAREER Award in the Inorganic, Bioinorganic and Organometallic Chemistry Program supports the research and education plans of Karin Ruhlandt-Senge of Syracuse University. The goal of the proposed research is to develop reliable synthetic routes to organoalkaline-earth derivatives. Initial studies will be directed toward facile routes to prepare diorgano alkaline-earth species and organo alkaline-earth halides. Possible applications in synthetic inorganic, organic, polymer and materials chemistry will be explored. The advantages of heavier organoalkaline-earth derivatives over organomagnesium derivatives will be investigated. Graduate students and students in undergraduate laboratories will be involved in the work and will learn to prepare air-sensitive compounds and handle them by Schlenk and dry-box techniques. Ruhlandt-Senge has developed a combined laboratory experience involving mentorship between seniors and first year chemistry students in which they prepare and investigate carefully chosen inorganic compounds. Ruhlandt-Senge is also involved in the Minority High School Student Apprenticeship Program and participates in the training of high school and prospective high school teachers.
