Organoaluminum Coordination Chemistry

该奖项由无机、生物无机和有机金属化学项目颁发给克莱姆森大学化学系的Gregory H. Robinson博士，以表彰他对新型有机铝化合物合成的探索性研究。重点将放在含有铝-铝键的物质的制备和表征上。将尝试合成一类含有八个铝原子呈立方排列的新化合物。如果合成成功，将对主基团化学和新材料的开发具有重要意义。该奖项将使罗宾逊博士能够加强他的研究实验室的合成成分，目前以主要基团化合物的结构表征而闻名。

This Minority Research Initiation Career Advancement Award is made by the Inorganic, Bioinorganic, and Organometallic Chemistry Program to Dr. Gregory H. Robinson of the Chemistry Department, Clemson University, for exploratory research on the synthesis of novel organoaluminum compounds. Emphasis will be placed on the preparation and characterization of species containing aluminum-aluminum bonds. The synthesis of a new class of compunds containing eight aluminum atoms in a cubic arrangement will be attempted. Should the synthesis be successful, it would have important implications for main group chemistry and the development of novel materials. This award will enable Dr. Robinson to enhance the synthetic component of his research laboratory, which currently is well-known for structural characterization of main group compounds.
