Alan Cowley, Department of Chemistry, University of Texas at Austin, is supported by the Inorganic, Bioinorganic and Organometallic Chemistry Program for his exploration of new Group 13 compounds. The particular focus is on boranediyls and their metal complexes, synthesis, characterization and further reactions with organic and organometallic molecules. Boranediyls are electron-poor compounds with a formal B(I) oxidation state. Cowley uses sterically encumbering ligands to stabilize these reactive molecules. In addition to the fundamental interest in boranediyl electronic structure, these molecules may provide useful routes into metal boride nanoparticles and boron-containing polymers. Boron has a rich chemistry that can be exploited in catalysis and materials synthesis. Chemical vapor deposition may provide a route into new metal boride nanoparticles. Polymers containing boron often have useful optical and electronic properties. Students will be trained in demanding synthetic techniques as well as state-of-the-art characterization tools for molecules, polymers and solid state materials.

艾伦·考利，化学系，得克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校，是由无机，生物无机和有机化学计划的支持，他对新的第13组化合物的探索。特别关注的是硼烷及其金属配合物，合成，表征和与有机和有机金属分子的进一步反应。硼烷二基是具有形式B（I）氧化态的贫电子化合物。考利使用空间位阻配体来稳定这些反应性分子。除了对硼烷二基电子结构的基本兴趣之外，这些分子可以为金属硼化物纳米颗粒和含硼聚合物提供有用的途径。硼具有丰富的化学性质，可用于催化和材料合成。化学气相沉积可以提供一种新的金属硼化物纳米颗粒的途径。含硼聚合物通常具有有用的光学和电子性质。学生将接受严格的合成技术以及分子，聚合物和固态材料的最先进表征工具的培训。
