This CAREER award in the Inorganic, Bioinorganic, and Organometallic Chemistry Program supports research and education on immobilized olefin polymerization catalysts by Dr. Paul A. Deck of the Chemistry Department, Virginia Polytechnic Institute. Group 4 metallocene complexes, already known to have catalytic activity in solution, will be supported on silica in such a way that the catalytic sites will be isolated from the support surface and therefore retain their effectiveness. Multiple short tethers will hold ancillary ligands to the surface. The interface established will be characterized by surface analytical methods, and detailed reactivity studies and computational modeling will be carried out. Undergraduate and graduate students will participate in a new course on scientific professionalism that will provide orientation to non-technical issues and situations encountered in professional life. Career development strategies, ethics, and business concepts will be introduced.

这一无机化学、生物无机化学和金属有机化学项目的职业奖项支持弗吉尼亚理工学院化学系的Paul A.Deck博士对固定化烯烃聚合催化剂的研究和教育。已知在溶液中具有催化活性的第4族茂金属配合物将以这样一种方式被负载在二氧化硅上，即催化中心将与载体表面隔离，从而保持其有效性。多条短锚链将辅助配体固定在表面。建立的界面将通过表面分析方法进行表征，并将进行详细的反应性研究和计算建模。本科生和研究生将参加一门关于科学职业精神的新课程，该课程将为职业生活中遇到的非技术性问题和情况提供指导。课程将介绍职业发展战略、职业道德和商业理念。
