Bond-Forming Reactions at Transition Metal Centers

该项目由无机、生物无机和有机金属化学计划资助，分为五个领域：1)早期过渡金属化合物对线性配体（CO， CNR等）的还原偶联；2)最近发现的顺磁性三角双锥体钴（III）配合物的化学反应，特别是可能的烷基衍生物；3)以铜和银配合物为催化剂的共轭加成化学反应。4)双核磷配体的金属配合物（其中一些给体是磷的大环配体）；5)多金属氧配合物中的氧化偶联反应，特别是水的氧化偶联反应。在这个项目中进行的研究涉及无机和有机金属化合物的基本结构和反应性。在这里获得的知识可能会影响许多领域，包括催化，精细化学品的合成，生物分子的反应机制和太阳能转换。

This project, funded by the Inorganic, Bioinorganic and Organo- metallic Chemistry Program, is divided into five areas: 1) reductive coupling of linear ligands (CO, CNR, etc.) by early transition metal compounds, 2) chemistry of recently discovered paramagnetic, trigonal bipyramidal cobalt(III) complexes, and especially possible alkyl derivatives, 3) conjugate addition chemistry employing new copper and silver coordination complexes as catalysts, 4) metal complexes of binucleating phosphand ligands (macrocyclic ligands in which some donors are phosphorus), and 5) oxidative coupling reactions, especially of water, in polymetallic oxo complexes. %%% The research to be performed in this project is concerned with the fundamental structures and reactivities of inorganic and organometallic compounds. Knowledge obtained here will likely impact on a number of areas including catalysis, synthesis of fine chemicals, reaction mechanisms of biological molecules and solar energy conversion.
