RUI: Organic Chemistry of Hypervalent Compounds

在有机和大分子化学项目的支持下，德卢斯明尼苏达大学化学系的Viktor V. Zhdankin教授正在探索碘和氙的高价化合物的化学性质。他的研究包括制备和结构表征新型稳定的高价碘和氙与螯合氮配体的配合物，寻找利用高价碘的催化反应，基于苯并唑的新型氧化剂的开发，以及混合磷碘酰化物和亚胺的制备，结构研究和反应性的探索。有机和大分子化学项目是对德卢斯明尼苏达大学化学系Viktor V. Zhdankin教授的研究工作的支持。通过对含碘或氙化合物的新结构类型的研究，Zhdankin教授将增强我们对这些不寻常化合物的结构和反应性的理解，开发有机合成的新试剂和新方法，并寻找具有不寻常和有用性质的新化合物。来自明尼苏达大学德卢斯分校和其他大学的本科生将进行这些研究。

With the support of the Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry Program, Professor Viktor V. Zhdankin, of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Minnesota, Duluth, is exploring the chemistry of hypervalent compounds of iodine and xenon. His studies include the preparation and structural characterization of novel, stable complexes of hypervalent iodine and xenon with chelating nitrogen ligands, a search for catalytic reactions utilizing hypervalent iodine, the development of new oxidizing agents based on benziodazoles, and the preparation, structural study, and exploration of the reactivity of mixed phosphonium-iodonium ylides and imides.With this Research in Undergraduate Institutions award, the Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry Program is supporting the research efforts of Professor Viktor V. Zhdankin, of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Minnesota, Duluth. Through the study of new structural types of compounds containing iodine or xenon, Professor Zhdankin will enhance our understanding of the structure and reactivity of these unusual compounds, develop new reagents and procedures for organic synthesis, and search for new compounds with unusual and useful properties. Undergraduate students from the University of Minnesota, Duluth and from other universities will carry out these studies.
