This award, supported by the Inorganic, Bioinorganic, and Organometallic Chemistry Program and the MPS Office of Multidisciplinary Activities, funds research on polymerization catalysts by Dr. Steven H. Strauss of the Chemistry Department, Colorado State University. The award is made under the GOALI (Grant Opportunities for Academic Liaisons with Industry) program and includes a collaboration with Dr. Andrew Bell of the BFGoodrich Specialty Chemicals Company, Cleveland, Ohio. The researchers will investigate fundamental questions related to the application of new weakly coordinating anions (WCAs) to cycloolefin polymerization. The new WCAs will be composed of fluoroalkoxide groups and other ligands including alkoxides, alkyl groups, and aryl groups attached to aluminum or boron centers. Some of the key criteria for these species include thermal stability, hydrocarbon solubility, and ability to activate Ni(II) and Pd(II) procatalyts for the addition polymerization of norbornene and substituted norbornenes and for the addition copolymerization of norbornenes and substituted norbornenes with a variety of alpha-olefins. The coordinating ability and the ion-pairing characteristics of the new WCAs will be determined and used to shape the design, synthesis, and testing of new cycloolefin polymerization catalysts.Cycloolefins and related polymers are widely used in microelectronics and other applications and are produced in great quantity worldwide. The goal of this research is to develop new production catalysts that are more thermally stable and activators that are more soluble in hydrocarbons. Both graduate and undergraduate students will have an opportunity to experience industrial as well as academic approaches to research by becoming part of a larger research team. One student each year will spend three months in residence at the BFGoodrich laboratories to gain firsthand knowledge of working in an industrial environment.

该奖项由无机、生物无机和有机金属化学项目以及 MPS 多学科活动办公室支持，资助科罗拉多州立大学化学系 Steven H. Strauss 博士对聚合催化剂的研究。 该奖项是根据 GOALI（与行业学术联络的资助机会）计划颁发的，其中包括与俄亥俄州克利夫兰 BFGoodrich 特种化学品公司的 Andrew Bell 博士的合作。 研究人员将研究与新型弱配位阴离子（WCA）在环烯烃聚合中的应用相关的基本问题。 新的WCA将由氟代醇盐基团和其他配体组成，包括连接到铝或硼中心的醇盐、烷基和芳基。 这些物质的一些关键标准包括热稳定性、烃溶解度以及活化 Ni(II) 和 Pd(II) 主催化剂的能力，用于降冰片烯和取代降冰片烯的加成聚合以及降冰片烯和取代降冰片烯与各种 α-烯烃的加成共聚。 新型WCA的配位能力和离子对特性将被确定并用于塑造新型环烯烃聚合催化剂的设计、合成和测试。环烯烃和相关聚合物广泛用于微电子和其他应用，并在全球范围内大量生产。 这项研究的目标是开发热稳定性更高的新型生产催化剂和更易溶于碳氢化合物的活化剂。 研究生和本科生都将有机会成为更大的研究团队的一员，体验工业和学术研究方法。 每年一名学生将在 BFGoodrich 实验室居住三个月，以获得在工业环境中工作的第一手知识。
