This CAREER award in the Inorganic, Bioinorganic, and Organometallic program supports research and educational activities involving rare-earth complexes by Professor Gregory M. Ferrence at Illinois State University. One goal of this research is to modify the supporting ligand environments of Group 3 and lanthanide metals in order to gain insight into chemical structure and reactivity that is distinct to rare-earth compounds in their predominant trivalent oxidation state. Rare earth complexes with N-confused-porphyrin and carbaporphyrin ligands will be prepared, which are expected to display contrasting reactivity compared to their traditional porphyrin analogs. Divalent lanthanide complexes will also be studied by using trispyrazolylborate ligands in order to also provide a fundamental understanding of the chemistry of divalent lanthanides.The educational component of this proposal focuses on teaching principles and practices in X-ray crystallography by using extensive computer based course materials that better enable students to determine aspects of molecules dependent on three dimensional visualizations. Faculty and students from regional liberal arts colleges and universities will be involved so as to offer aspects of the X-ray course via distance education and to foster regional research collaborations.

这个职业奖在无机，生物无机和有机物计划支持研究和教育活动，涉及稀土络合物教授格雷戈里M。伊利诺斯州州立大学的费伦斯。 本研究的一个目标是修改第3族和镧系金属的支持配体环境，以深入了解化学结构和反应性，这是不同的稀土化合物在其主要的三价氧化态。 将制备具有N-混乱卟啉和碳卟啉配体的稀土配合物，与它们的传统卟啉类似物相比，它们预期显示出对比鲜明的反应性。 二价镧系元素配合物也将通过使用三吡唑硼酸盐配体进行研究，以便也提供了一个基本的理解二价镧系元素的化学。该建议的教育部分侧重于教学原理和实践，在X射线晶体学，通过使用广泛的计算机为基础的课程材料，更好地使学生能够确定依赖于三维可视化的分子方面。 来自区域文理学院和大学的教师和学生将参与，以便通过远程教育提供X射线课程的各个方面，并促进区域研究合作。
