CAREER: Synthesis of Carbon-Rich Organometallic Objects and Cyclic Starmacromolecules

本研究的重点是制备一系列多环炔桥金属有机化合物。 目标分子代表有机金属富勒烯炔片段和有机graphydiyne的混合物。它们作为电活性和极其多孔的有机金属材料受到高度关注。 大的、炔桥连的含钴或铁的、高度不饱和的有机金属化合物的热解应导致新的金属-碳固体的形成。 所提出的富碳有机金属化合物的高温热解可以导致纳米管的形成，从而避免使用气相条件。该项目的教育部分将包括课程开发，重点是网络的使用。有了这个职业奖，有机和高分子化学计划支持博士的研究和教育活动。南卡罗来纳州大学化学和生物化学系的Bunz博士说。 Bunz教授将专注于有机金属化合物的制备研究，目标是构建富勒烯片段和新的含金属材料。 热解的材料可以作为一种方法，用于制备纳米管。 所提出的类型的富碳化合物作为新一代化合物引起了极大的兴趣。 先进的材料在电子和光子器件的未来应用。 该项目的教育部分将强调在课程开发中使用网络。

The focus of this research is preparation of a series of polycyclic alkyne-bridged organometallic compounds. The target molecules represent hybrids of organometallic fullerenyne segments and the organic graphydiyne. They are of high interest as electro-active and extremely porous organometallic materials. The pyrolysis pyrolysis of large, alkyne-bridged cobalt- or iron-containing, highly unsaturated organometallics should lead to the formation of novel metal-carbon solids. The high-temperature pyrolysis of the proposed carbon-rich organometallics could lead to the formation of nanotubes, circumventing the use of gas phase conditions. The educational portion of the project will include curriculum development with a strong emphasis on the use of the Web.With this CAREER award, the Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry Program is supporting the research and educational activities of Dr. Uwe H. Bunz of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of South Carolina. Professor Bunz will focus his research on the preparation of organometallic compounds with the goal of constructing fullerenyne-segments and new metal-containing materials. Pyrolysis of the materials could serve as a method for the preparation of nanotubes. Carbon-rich compounds of the types proposed are of great interest as a new generation of advanced materials for future applications in electronic and photonic devices. The educational portion of the project will stress use of the Web in course development.
