Dr. Francois P Gabbai, Chemistry Department, Texas A&M University, is supported by the Inorganic, Bioinorganic, and Organometallic Chemistry Program to explore the synthesis of cationic boranes, their electrochemistry and their reduction into neutral radicals. More specifically, monofunctional and bifunctional cationic boranes featuring pyridinium, acridinium, ammonium, phosphonium and sulfonium moieties will be prepared. These compounds with be reduced to determine if the cationic character of the boranes serves to decrease their reduction potential and increase the stability of the resulting radicals. Unusual unusual bonding motifs including one-electron boron-boron sigma and pi bonds will be investigated both experimentally and theoretically. These studies should reveal how the cationic nature of the boranes influences their oxidative power. This research will advance the fundamental understanding of the bonding of the main group elements. The compounds produced in this study will be strong oxidants and applications in the oxidation of organic compounds are anticipated. Graduate students, undergraduate students and postdoctoral associates will receive excellent training and research experiences in forefront synthetic inorganic chemistry.

Francois P Gabbai博士，化学系，得克萨斯A M大学，是由无机，生物无机和有机化学计划的支持，探索阳离子硼烷的合成，其电化学和还原成中性自由基。更具体地，将制备以吡啶钥、吖啶钥、铵、鳞和锍部分为特征的单官能和双官能阳离子硼烷。将这些化合物还原以确定硼烷的阳离子特征是否有助于降低其还原电位并增加所得自由基的稳定性。不寻常的不寻常的键合图案，包括单电子硼硼σ和π键将在实验和理论上进行研究。这些研究应揭示硼烷的阳离子性质如何影响其氧化能力。这一研究将促进对主族元素成键的基本认识。本研究所得到的化合物将是强氧化剂，在有机化合物的氧化中具有重要的应用前景。研究生，本科生和博士后助理将在前沿合成无机化学方面获得优秀的培训和研究经验。
