本研究的重点是综合和研究 硫醌、硒酸酐和碲酸酐、硫属富烯 和硫属富瓦烯和非经典噻吩。的 在富烯-富瓦烯领域的结果预计将导致 一维导体，也许是新的超导体。 具有特殊固态性质的电荷转移配合物 也将寻求有机碲的新途径 化合物.这项研究可能会导致 生产新型导电聚合物和近红外染料。 %%% 有了这个更新奖，合成有机计划是 支持Michael P. Cava博士和M. V. 大学化学系的Lakshmikantham 来自亚拉巴马。 研究的重点是粘结性、稳定性 以及C=X（X=S，Se，Te）键的实用性。这一领域的成果 将有助于更好地了解此类物质的性质 compopunds和随后的应用程序的设计有机 材料，包括合成金属和那些具有 非线性光学性质

The focus of this research is the synthesis and study of thioquinones, selena and telluro anhydrides, chalcogenofulvenes and chalcogenofulvalenes, and nonclassical thiophenes. The results in the fulvene-fulvalene areas are expected to lead to one-dimensional conductors and perhaps to new superconductors. Charge transfer complexes with unusual solid state properties will also be sought as will new routes to organotellurium compounds. It is possible that the research will lead to the production of new conducting polymers and near infrared dyes. %%% With this renewal award, the Synthetic Organic Program is supporting the research of Drs. Michael P. Cava and M.V. Lakshmikantham of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Alabama. The research is focused on the bonding, stability and utility of the C=X (X=S,Se,Te) bond. Results in this area will lead to a better understanding of the properties of such compopunds and subsequent application to the design of organic materials including synthetic metals and those possessing nonlinear optical properties.
