RUI: Organic Chemistry of Hypervalent Compounds

在有机和高分子化学项目的支持下，明尼苏达大学杜卢斯化学系的Viktor V. Zhdankin教授正在探索碘和氙的高价化合物的化学。他的研究包括高价碘和氙与螯合氮配体的新型稳定络合物的制备和结构表征，利用高价碘进行催化反应的研究，基于苯并碘唑的新氧化剂的开发，以及混合膦-碘鎓叶立德和酰亚胺的制备，结构研究和反应性探索。凭借本科院校研究奖，有机和高分子化学计划支持杜卢斯明尼苏达大学化学系Viktor V. Zhdankin教授的研究工作。通过研究含碘或氙的化合物的新结构类型，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，开发新的有机合成试剂和程序，并寻找具有不寻常和有用特性的新化合物。来自明尼苏达大学、杜卢斯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.
