Electrophilic Attack on Coordinated Ligands Involved in Catalysis by Organometallic Complexes

这个奖项由无机，生物无机和有机化学计划支持教授杰克R。Norton在哥伦比亚大学提出了均相有机金属催化的几个领域，特别是：a）对金属氮杂环丙烷和金属环氧乙烷的亲电攻击，B）配体与受限几何结构的锆氮杂环丙烷结合的定量测量，c）离子氢化反应的对映体选择性，和d）锆/铝transmethalide。 这些研究中的每一项都推进了对高度相关和工业重要性转变的基本理解。 诺顿教授将继续教育和培训研究生在详细的机械研究。哥伦比亚大学NSF赞助的REU项目的本科生也将参与这项研究。 诺顿教授将担任2008年中大西洋地区美国化学学会会议的联合计划主席。

This award by the Inorganic, Bioinorganic, and Organometallic Chemistry Program supports the work of Professor Jack R. Norton at Columbia University to address several areas of homogeneous, organometallic catalysis, specifically: a) electrophilic attacks on metallaaziridines and metallaoxiranes, b) the quantitative measurement of ligand binding to constrained geometry zirconaziridines, c) the enantiofacial selectivity of ionic hydrogenation reactions, and d) zirconium/aluminum transmetallation. Each of these studies advances the fundamental understanding of highly relevant and industrially-important transformations. Professor Norton will continue to educate and train graduate students in detailed mechanistic studies. Undergraduate students in the NSF-sponsored REU program at Columbia University will also participate in the research. Professor Norton will serve as co-Program Chair for the 2008 Mid-Atlantic Regional American Chemical Society meeting.
