Applications of Fluorine and Highly Electronegative Fluorinated Ligands to the Syntheses of High-Oxidation-State Derivatives of the Main-Group and Transition Metal Elements

拟议的研究计划侧重于合成和结构无机氟化学领域的基础研究，包括主族和重过渡金属元素的高反应性氟化物和氧化物氟化物在其最高氧化态。拟议的化学，往往在什么是可能的边缘，将提供新的化合物，挑战，确认和扩展化学键的现代思想。将研究的具体领域包括稀有气体化学，溴、氙、汞和铱的最高氧化态，以及硫-氮-氟化物化学。在稀有气体的情况下，寻找新的氙-碳，氙-（和氪-）氮和氪-氧键是研究计划的重要目标。许多目标化合物是“高价”的，即，它们是高度配位的，并且大大超过了与经典的“八隅体规则”相关的价层中的4个电子对。本研究计划中涉及的大多数氟化合物，如稀有气体化合物KrF

The proposed research program focuses on fundamental research in the field of synthetic and structural inorganic fluorine chemistry, encompassing highly reactive fluorides and oxide fluorides of the main-group and heavy transition metal elements in their highest oxidation states. The proposed chemistry, often at the edge of what is possible, will provide new compounds that challenge, affirm and extend modern ideas of chemical bonding. Among the specific areas that will be investigated are noble-gas chemistry, the highest oxidation states of bromine, xenon, mercury and iridium, and sulfur-nitrogen-fluoride chemistry. In the case of the noble gases, the quest for new xenon–carbon, xenon– (and krypton–) nitrogen and krypton–oxygen bonds are important objectives of the research program. Many of the targeted compounds are “hypervalent”, i.e., they are highly coordinated and greatly exceed the 4 electron pairs in the valence shell that are associated with the classic "octet rule". Most of the fluorine compounds dealt with in this research program, such as the noble-gas compounds KrF
