US-UK Cooperative Education and Research: Structural Investigations of Main Group Heterocyclic Rings and Cages

0084330亨特该奖项支持衍射教育奖学金和化学研究中先进衍射方法的利用的合作研究和教育项目。 艾伦博士D.扬斯敦州立大学的亨特将与苏格兰圣安德鲁斯大学的J·德里克·伍林斯博士和亚历山大·斯拉温一起度过第一次休假。 此次合作的目的是：（1）研究固态主族无机和有机金属环和笼状配合物的结构和键合，并确定其在溶液中的光谱性质;（2）编写各种晶体学教材。 这位美国研究员是一位晶体学家，为此次合作带来了衍射方法方面的专业知识。 这是由苏格兰集团的专业知识在主组无机和有机金属化学，他们优秀的晶体学设施，以及不同的方法来教学衍射方法的补充。 该项目将促进对新型主族有机金属和配位络合物的合成和表征的理解，并产生关于衍射方法的新教材。

0084330HunterThis award supports a collaborative research and education project on the scholarship of diffraction education and utilization of advanced diffraction methods in chemical research. Dr. Allen D. Hunter of Youngstown State University will spend a first-time sabbatical working with Dr. J. Derek Woollins and Alexander Slawin of St. Andrews University in Scotland. The objectives of this collaboration are: (1) to conduct research on structures and bonding of main group inorganic and organometallic ring and cage complexes in solid state and determine their spectroscopic properties in solution; and (2) prepare a variety of teaching materials in crystallography. The US investigator is a crystallographer and brings to this collaboration expertise in diffraction methods . This is complemented by the Scottish group's expertise in main group inorganic and organometallic chemistry, their excellent crystallography facilities, and different approach to teaching diffraction methods. The project will advance understanding of the synthesis and characterization of novel main group organometallic and coordination complexes, and result in new teaching materials on diffraction methods.
