Professor Andrew B. Bocarsly of Princeton University is supported by the Inorganic, Bioinorganic and Organometallic Chemistry program to explore the rational synthesis of cyanogels - a class of coordination polymers based on the reactivity of cyanometalate transtion metal complexes that form as hydrogels from aqueous solution. Cyanogel processing provides a new synthetic avenue to the development of metal alloy systems and thus, these novel materials will be investigated in terms of their interesting magnetic properties and potential to act as cellular building blocks. In a separate thrust, the direct microwave processing of the cyanogel systems will be developed and the mechanism of metal formation will studied. Synthetic advantage will be taken of the faster processing times and unique absorption of 12 cm microwaves to form zerogel and aerogel states. New morphologies are expected to lead to new materials properties such as superparamagnetic and nanometric particles. This project will provide undergraduate and graduate students with an excellent introduction to interdisciplinary research. This project will also impact K-12 education in the greater Princeton, NJ area as Professor Bocarsly is actvely involved in a variety of K-12 outreach programs including the directorship of the NY/NJ Partners in Science Program, a six university consortium, that bring high school science teachers into research labs as active researchers for two consecutive summers. Professor Bocarsly also utilizes the results of his cyanogel research in his role as a science advisor to the West Windsor-Painsboro Regional School disctrict through such programs as the NSF sponsored E=mc2 inquiry-based science program, and Princeton University's Quest program. It is estimated that approximately 500 K-12 student per year are impacted by Professor Bocarsly's actvities in these programs.

安德鲁教授B。普林斯顿大学的Bocarsly受到无机，生物无机和有机化学计划的支持，以探索氰基凝胶的合理合成-一类基于氰酸盐过渡金属络合物的反应性的配位聚合物，这些络合物从水溶液中形成水凝胶。 蓝凝胶加工为金属合金系统的开发提供了一种新的合成途径，因此，这些新型材料将在其有趣的磁性和作为细胞构建块的潜力方面进行研究。 在一个单独的推力，直接微波处理的氰凝胶系统将开发和金属形成的机制进行研究。合成优势将采取更快的处理时间和独特的吸收12厘米微波形成零凝胶和气凝胶状态。 新的形态有望导致新的材料特性，如超顺磁性和纳米颗粒。这个项目将为本科生和研究生提供一个很好的介绍跨学科研究。 这个项目也将影响K-12教育在大普林斯顿，新泽西州地区教授Bocarsly是actvely参与各种K-12外展计划，包括在科学计划，一个六所大学的联盟，使高中科学教师进入研究实验室作为活跃的研究人员连续两个夏天的纽约/新泽西州合作伙伴的董事。 教授Bocarsly还利用他的cyanogel研究的结果，在他的角色作为科学顾问，西温莎-佩恩斯伯勒地区学校disctrict通过这样的方案作为NSF赞助的E= mc 2探究为基础的科学计划，和普林斯顿大学的探索计划。 据估计，每年约有500名K-12学生受到Bocarsly教授在这些项目中的活动的影响。
