Professor Eugene Y. Chen of Colorado State University is supported by the Chemical Catalysis Program in the Division of Chemistry to explore the scope and potential of the asymmetric coordination polymerization (ACP) catalysis of polar vinyl monomers. The project advances four main objectives: (1) to develop kinetic resolution polymerization for the simultaneous synthesis of chiral polymers and the resolution of racemic monomers; (2) to further develop catalytic asymmetric coordination polymerization; (3) to investigate the resolution of racemic catalysts by chiral anions into ACP catalysts; and (4) to investigate the synthesis of helical polymer-supported chiral organic catalysts. Synthetic, catalytic, mechanistic, and computational methods will be employed to accomplish the above stated objectives.The synthesis of polymers of industrial importance from environmentally sustainable raw materials offers an attractive alternative to polymers derived from petrochemical sources. The proposed catalytic system offers significant advantages over existing polymerization processes for the production of important chiral polymers, including chiral polymers derived from biorenewable butyrolactone-based monomers. Students, including women and minorities, will be trained in sophisticated experimental and theoretical methodologies in organic synthesis, catalysis, and organometallic chemistry.

尤金教授.科罗拉多州立大学的Chen得到了化学系化学催化项目的支持，以探索极性乙烯基单体的不对称配位聚合（ACP）催化的范围和潜力。 该项目提出了四个主要目标：（1）开发同时合成手性聚合物和拆分外消旋单体的动力学拆分聚合;（2）进一步开发催化不对称配位聚合;（3）研究手性阴离子拆分外消旋催化剂为ACP催化剂;（4）研究螺旋聚合物负载手性有机催化剂的合成。 将采用合成、催化、机械和计算方法来实现上述目标。从环境可持续的原材料合成具有工业重要性的聚合物为来自石化来源的聚合物提供了一种有吸引力的替代方案。 所提出的催化系统提供了显着的优势，现有的聚合方法生产重要的手性聚合物，包括衍生自生物可再生的丁内酯基单体的手性聚合物。学生，包括妇女和少数民族，将在有机合成，催化和有机金属化学复杂的实验和理论方法的培训。
