Carbene Migratory Insertions, Metalloaromatics and Complexesof Strained Alkenes and Tropynes

这项来自有机动力学项目的资助支持了威廉·M·琼斯在盖恩斯维尔的佛罗里达大学学习有机金属化学的三个相关课题。 第一个问题是卡宾迁移插入铁三位一体的发展。 这种化学集中在使用后过渡金属铁，钌和锇的卡宾配合物，目的是探索催化迁移插入和重排的不稳定的配合物，也将比较他们的迁移插入的能力。 研究的第二个主题主要涉及锆配合物的合成与分子含有高度紧张的多重键，特别强调环状累积多烯和环丙烯。 第三个领域涉及托品、金属甘菊环和金属苯的过渡金属络合物的形成和反应。 在这个项目中，威廉M。琼斯将研究后过渡金属铁，钌和锇的卡宾络合物的反应性方面。 这项工作将集中在卡宾迁移插入，在结构和合成方面的复杂应变烯烃和炔烃，并在合成新的金属芳烃。

This grant from the Organic Dynamics Program supports the work of Professor William M. Jones at the University of Florida, Gainesville to study three related topics in organometallic chemistry. The first concerns the development of carbene migratory insertions in the iron triad. This chemistry concentrates on the use of carbene complexes of the late transition metals iron, ruthenium, and osmium and aims to explore catalyzed migratory insertions and rearrangements of unstabilized complexes, and also will compare their aptitude for migratory insertions. The second topic of study concerns the synthesis of mainly zirconium complexes with molecules containing highly strained multiple bonds with particular emphasis on cyclic cumulenes and cyclopropenes. The third area deals with the formation and reactions of transition metal complexes of tropynes, metalloazulenes, and metallobenzenes. In this project Professor William M. Jones will study reactivity aspects of carbene complexes of the late transition metals iron, ruthenium, and osmium. The work will concentrate on carbene migratory insertions, on structural and synthetic aspects of complexed strained alkenes and alkynes, and on the synthesis of novel metalloaromatics.
