Dr. Russell P. Hughes, Department of Chemistry, Dartmouth College, is supported by the Inorganic, Bioinorganic, and Organometallic Program of the Chemistry Division to investigate processes in which a transition metal activates carbon-fluorine bonds. The principal objectives of the study are to develop the syntheses of transition-metal fluoroalkyl complexes and use these complexes as reagents to functionalize fluorocarbon chains. Reactions will be developed for the destruction of fluorocarbons to CO and HF using common reagents such as hydrogen and water. Another process that converts C-F to C-H bonds at room temperature using hydrogen gas will be investigated as route to the mild conversion of hydrofluorocarbons. The details of how the metal center is capable of activating these normally unreactive C-F bonds will be probed and the extent of pi-backbonding from the metal to antibonding C-F group orbitals will be measured.Fluorinated organic molecules play important roles in our lives and the long term quality of our environment. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's) and perfluorocarbons (PFC's) are thought to be responsible for ozone depletion and global warming. Replacements for these substances are the environmentally friendly hydrofluorocarbons (HFC's). Thus, there is a need to devise efficient ways to recycle and destroy CFC's and PFC's, and to prepare HFC's. This study aims toward developing transition metal centers that can make and break bonds between carbon and fluorine. It will permit metal catalysts to be developed that perform efficient and precisely controlled chemical reactions on fluorocarbons.

达特茅斯学院化学系的罗素·P·休斯博士是 由化学部无机，生物无机和有机物计划支持，研究过渡金属激活碳氟键的过程。本研究的主要目的是发展过渡金属氟烷基配合物的合成，并利用这些配合物作为试剂对氟碳链进行功能化。将开发使用氢和水等常用试剂将碳氟化合物破坏为CO和HF的反应。另一种在室温下使用氢气将C-F键转化为C-H键的方法将作为氢氟烃温和转化的途径进行研究。金属中心如何能够激活这些通常不反应的C-F键的细节将被探测，并将测量从金属到反键C-F基团轨道的π-背键的程度。氟化有机分子在我们的生活和我们的环境的长期质量中起着重要的作用。氯氟烃（CFC's）和全氟化碳（PFC's）被认为是造成臭氧消耗和全球变暖的原因。这些物质的替代品是对环境友好的氢氟碳化物（HFC）。因此，需要设计有效的方法来回收和销毁氟氯化碳和全氟化碳，并制备氢氟碳化合物。本研究的目的是开发过渡金属中心，可以建立和打破碳和氟之间的键。它将允许开发金属催化剂，对碳氟化合物进行高效且精确控制的化学反应。
