Kinetics and Mechanism of Reactions of Alkali Metal Polytellurides with Transition Metal Carbonyl Compounds

这个女性职业发展研究机会奖是在无机化学的一般领域。塔尔顿州立大学的琳达·D·舒尔茨博士将使用常规热技术和脉冲激光闪光光解技术研究碱金属多碲化物与过渡金属羰基化合物的反应机理。虽然舒尔茨博士之前曾研究过金属羰基化合物和多碲化合物，但这将是她第一次使用脉冲激光闪光光解进行研究。该仪器位于德克萨斯州丹顿的北得克萨斯大学杰拉德·R·多布森博士的实验室里。这项奖励将帮助她建立一个扩展的研究计划，如果该项目成功，可能会使她提出持续学习的建议。

This Research Opportunities for Women Career Advancement Award is in the general area of inorganic chemistry. Dr. Linda D. Schultz of Tarleton State University will study the mechanisms of reaction for alkali metal polytellurides with transition metal carbonyl compounds using conventional thermal techniques and pulsed laser flash photolysis. While Dr. Schultz has studied both metal carbonyls and polytellurides previously, this will be her first investigation using pulsed laser flash photolysis. The instrumentation is located in Dr. Gerard R. Dobson's laboratories at the University of North Texas in Denton, Texas. This award will assist her in establishing an expanded research program and if the project is successful may enable a proposal for sustained study.
