We are requesting a glovebox, which allows sample preparation and experiments to be conducted under an inert atmosphere. This glovebox will replace my >40 year old glovebox that failed during the previous year and will be used mainly to support a highly productive collaboration with Prof. Laurel Schafer. This project involves the synthesis, characterization and reactivity studies of late transition metals bearing N,O chelating ligands (details below). Most of the metal complexes and ligands that we use require the rigourous exclusion of air and moisture, and thus need to be handled under an inert atmosphere. Our future focus is on reactive earth-abundant transition metal complexes that are not chemically compatible with the other projects in our respective groups, meaning that other gloveboxes cannot be used for this project. Thus, without the requested equipment, this project would not be able to continue. The proposed configuration allows sample preparation and experiments to be conducted under an inert atmosphere. Never gloveboxes are also cheaper to operate; they include mini-antechambers, which require substantially less inert gas. The inclusion of water and air sensors will maximize the utility of the equipment and minimize decomposition of materials due to undetected contamination of the atmosphere.

我们正在要求一个手套盒，它允许在惰性气氛下进行样品准备和实验。这个手套箱将取代我40年前坏掉的手套箱，它将主要用于支持与劳雷尔·谢弗教授的高效合作。该项目涉及含N，O螯合配体的后过渡金属的合成、表征和反应活性研究(详情如下)。我们使用的大多数金属络合物和配体都需要严格排除空气和水分，因此需要在惰性气氛中处理。我们未来的重点是活性丰富的过渡金属络合物，这些络合物与我们各自小组中的其他项目在化学上不兼容，这意味着其他手套盒不能用于这个项目。因此，如果没有所需的设备，该项目将无法继续下去。 拟议的配置允许在惰性气氛下进行样品制备和实验。Never手套箱的操作成本也更低；它们包括微型接待室，需要的惰性气体要少得多。水和空气传感器的加入将最大限度地提高设备的效用，并最大限度地减少因未检测到的大气污染而导致的材料分解。
