With this award, the Chemical Synthesis Program is funding Professor Gerard Parkin of Columbia University to investigate main group metal chemistry relevant to the development of future technological applications of these elements. Applications range from their enlistment as catalysts to their use in solid-state devices and further research into the chemistry of these elements will lead to new developments. The intent of this proposal is to obtain fundamental information that will facilitate such advances by using well-defined ligands to control the coordination environment about main group metal centers, such as those of zinc and calcium, and thereby derive a detailed understanding concerned with bonding and reactivity of these elements.The Broader Impact of the proposed research is far reaching, and an important aspect involves training students to be future professionals, be it in an academic or industrial setting. The research activities described in this proposal are not restricted to students from Columbia University, but will also involve undergraduate students from other universities (typically non-PhD granting institutions), as illustrated by students who have participated in the NSF REU Program. In addition, high school children will also participate in this research, e.g. from the Harlem Children Society, as has become customary for the group. In addition, the PI will continue to reach out to New York City public middle schools that are ethnically diverse, as well as bring such students in house to gain exposure to simple experimental chemistry at Columbia.

通过这一奖项，化学合成计划资助哥伦比亚大学的Gerard Parkin教授研究与这些元素未来技术应用开发相关的主族金属化学。应用范围从它们作为催化剂到它们在固态设备中的使用，对这些元素的化学的进一步研究将带来新的发展。这项建议的目的是通过使用定义明确的配体来控制主要基团金属中心的配位环境，如锌和钙的配位环境，从而获得促进这些进展的基本信息，从而对这些元素的成键和反应活性有一个详细的了解。拟议研究的更广泛的影响是深远的，一个重要的方面是将学生培养成未来的专业人员，无论是在学术还是工业环境中。这项提案中描述的研究活动不仅限于哥伦比亚大学的学生，还将包括来自其他大学(通常是非博士授予机构)的本科生，如参加NSF REU计划的学生所说明的那样。此外，高中生也将参与这项研究，例如来自哈莱姆儿童协会的研究，这已经成为该团体的惯例。此外，PI将继续接触纽约市种族多元化的公立中学，并将这些学生带到家里，让他们接触哥伦比亚大学的简单实验化学。
