Synthetic Strategies for the Achievement of Directed and Controlled Synthesis of Solid State Metal Oxides and Sulfides

该奖项是作为Omar Yaghi博士化学博士后奖学金的启动资助增量，以支持他在亚利桑那州立大学的研究。本研究的主题是发展合理合成固态金属氧化物和硫化物的合成策略。部分工作需要使用杂原子或有机分子来聚集簇，这些分子能够选择性地结合到簇的表面或边缘。剩下的工作涉及水热合成微孔硫化物使用分子金属硫化物已知是稳定的水解。制备固态材料的新方法的发展可以导致发现可能具有新的电学和机械性能的化合物。这些物质在化学工业中可能具有商业意义。

This award is made as the starter grant increment of Dr. Omar Yaghi's Postdoctoral Fellowship in Chemistry Award in support of his research at Arizona State University. The theme of the research is the development of synthetic strategies for the rational synthesis of solid state metal oxides and sulfides. Part of the work entails aggregating clusters using heteroatoms or organic molecules capable of binding selectively to the face or edge of a cluster. The remainder of the work involves hydrothermal synthesis of microporous sulfides using molecular metal sulfides known to be stable to hydrolysis. %%% The development of new methods for the preparation of solid state materials can lead to the discovery of compounds which may have novel electrical and mechanical properties. These substances may have commercial significance in the chemical industry.
