This award in the Inorganic, Bioinorganic, and Organometallic Chemistry Program provides continued support for research on weakly coordinating anions by Dr. Christopher A. Reed, Chemistry Department, University of California at Riverside. The goal of the project is to develop the chemistry of partially chlorinated carborane anions. These anions are non-nucleophilic and non-oxidizing, providing a non-reactive "least coordinating anion". Acids such as H(CB11H6Cl6) are superacidic yet otherwise gentle reagents. This combination of properties makes it possible to study protonation of very weak bases such as buckminsterfullerenes, hydrocarbons, and noble gases. The superacid chemistry will be extended to "supermethyl" and "superoxidant" reagents.Acid-base reactions are among the most fundamental and important reactions in chemistry and biology. This research explores the extremes of acid behavior. Development of this chemistry has implications for numerous chemical processes, including olefin polymerization, petroleum cracking, boron neutron capture therapy and battery technology. It may lead to new chemical reagents and selective catalysts.

该奖项属于无机、生物无机和有机金属化学项目，为加州大学河滨分校化学系 Christopher A. Reed 博士的弱配位阴离子研究提供持续支持。 该项目的目标是开发部分氯化碳硼烷阴离子的化学特性。这些阴离子是非亲核性和非氧化性的，提供非反应性的“最少配位阴离子”。 H(CB11H6Cl6) 等酸是超酸性试剂，但在其他方面是温和的试剂。这种特性的组合使得研究巴克明斯特富勒烯、碳氢化合物和稀有气体等非常弱的碱的质子化成为可能。超酸化学将扩展到“超甲基”和“超氧化剂”试剂。酸碱反应是化学和生物学中最基本和最重要的反应之一。这项研究探讨了酸性行为的极端情况。这种化学的发展对许多化学过程具有影响，包括烯烃聚合、石油裂化、硼中子捕获疗法和电池技术。 它可能会产生新的化学试剂和选择性催化剂。
