Dr. Seth N. Brown, Department of Chemistry, University of Notre Dame, is supported by a Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award from the Inorganic, Bioinorganic and Organometallic Chemistry Program. Trimetallic complexes with coordinatively unsaturated titanium centers, each capable of acing as a one-electron reductant, will be synthesized using a variety of targeted ligands, possessing amine or hydroxyl moieties, as templates. The ability of tri-titanium clusters to abstract atoms from small molecules, forming capped-clusters, via reductive cleavage will be examined. Additionally, an undergraduate experimental laboratory course will be designed and introduced into the curriculum as a vehicle to teach students about model-building. The goal of the course is to develop good experimental design skills in undergraduates. The reduction of oxygen or nitrogen is a key step in the use of these titanium-containing molecules by biological systems or in industrial processes. The proposed studies will provide additional insight into topics ranging from the biological production of ammonia to surface catalyzed reactions. The education component of this project will examine new approaches in undergraduate chemistry education.

巴黎圣母院大学化学系Seth N. Brown博士得到了无机，生物促和有机化化学计划的早期职业发展（职业）奖。 具有协调不饱和钛中心的三金属复合物，每个中心都可以作为单电子还原剂作为单电子还原剂，使用各种具有胺或羟基部分的靶向配体合成。 将检查三坦簇簇从小分子中抽象原子，通过还原性裂解形成限制群体的能力。 此外，本科实验实验室课程将被设计并引入课程中，以教学学生有关模型构建的工具。 该课程的目的是在本科生中发展良好的实验设计技能。 氧或氮的还原是生物系统或工业过程中使用这些含钛分子的关键步骤。 拟议的研究将提供对从氨的生物产生到表面催化反应的额外见解。 该项目的教育部分将研究本科化学教育的新方法。
