In this CAREER award funded by the Chemical Catalysis Program of the Chemistry Division, Professor Nilay Hazari of the Department of Chemistry at Yale University will develop transition metal catalysts for the conversion of carbon dioxide into organic building blocks. In particular monomeric Ni and Pd complexes that promote the formation of new C-C bonds from carbon dioxide will be targeted. This could result in the development of a functional group tolerant catalyst that can convert carbon dioxide into carboxylic acids, which are highly useful in synthetic chemistry. The broader impacts of this program include the development of a program that will encourage local high school students to visit different research laboratories at Yale.The catalytic conversion of carbon dioxide into more valuable compounds is an important problem due to the potential of this greenhouse gas as a readily available and inexpensive source of carbon in the construction of more complex molecules. Currently, there are relatively few practical methods for converting carbon dioxide into useful chemicals and the development of new catalysts for carbon dioxide conversion could have important impact on sustainable chemistry. In this work carboxylic acids which are present in many organic compounds will be synthesized from carbon dioxide. In addition, alongside the training of both undergraduate and graduate students, a program will be introduced which allows local high school students to visit chemistry laboratories.

在这个由化学部化学催化计划资助的CAREER奖中，耶鲁大学化学系的Nilay Hazari教授将开发过渡金属催化剂，用于将二氧化碳转化为有机结构单元。特别是促进二氧化碳形成新的C-C键的单体Ni和Pd络合物将成为目标。这可能导致开发一种官能团耐受催化剂，其可以将二氧化碳转化为羧酸，这在合成化学中非常有用。该计划的更广泛的影响包括开发一个计划，该计划将鼓励当地高中生参观耶鲁大学的不同研究实验室。二氧化碳催化转化为更有价值的化合物是一个重要的问题，因为这种温室气体作为一种容易获得的廉价碳源，可以构建更复杂的分子。目前，将二氧化碳转化为有用的化学品的实用方法相对较少，并且用于二氧化碳转化的新催化剂的开发可能对可持续化学产生重要影响。在这项工作中，存在于许多有机化合物中的羧酸将由二氧化碳合成。此外，除了对本科生和研究生进行培训外，还将推出一项计划，允许当地高中生参观化学实验室。
