This CAREER award in the Inorganic, Bioinorganic, and Organometallic Chemistry Program supports research and education on polymer synthesis by Dr. Geoffrey W. Coates in the Chemistry Department, Cornell University. The goal of the research is to develop new catalysts for the controlled copolymerization of carbon dioxide and epoxides. Transition metal complexes, specifically zinc diimines and chiral oxazolines, will be used as initiators for polymers that have heterocyclic groups in the main chain. By modification of these groups, polymers that are biodegradable are expected to result. The mechanism of the reaction will be investigated, as will potential synthetic applications. Polymer chemistry will be the basis of outreach programs to K-12 students, redesign of a portion of the undergraduate organic chemistry laboratory, and industrial interactions for graduate students. The Cornell Center for Materials Research will be the focus for many of these activities.

这个职业奖在无机，生物无机和有机化学计划支持的研究和教育聚合物合成博士杰弗里W。康奈尔大学化学系的科茨。 本研究的目的是开发二氧化碳与环氧化物可控共聚合的新型催化剂。 过渡金属络合物，特别是锌二亚胺和手性恶唑啉，将用作主链中具有杂环基团的聚合物的引发剂。 通过这些基团的改性，预期得到可生物降解的聚合物。 将研究反应的机理，以及潜在的合成应用。 高分子化学将是K-12学生外展计划的基础，重新设计本科有机化学实验室的一部分，以及研究生的工业互动。 康奈尔大学材料研究中心将是其中许多活动的重点。
