Technetium Complexes of Metal Oxides

纽约州立大学亨特学院化学系的Lynn C.Francesconi博士获得了化学系无机、生物无机和有机金属化学项目的支持，该项目获得了学院早期职业发展奖，以制备氧化锶分子，并实施一个五管齐下的计划，以改善亨特学院提供的教育经验。在研究中，组份技术将被结合到钨、钼、钒和磷的笼状多氧阴离子结构中。在校外教育环节，建立院校科研协作，将本科生的督导工作下放给研究生，以提高研究生培养的针对性和生命力。在本科一级，将通过重新设计课程实现更多的实验室参与，并将通过研讨会的方式在一年级课程中增加本科生的研究经验、交流和学生参与，并将设计一门新的无机化学讲座课程。Technecium在医学上用作显像剂，并作为放射性废物的一种成分出现。这项研究将产生新的化合物，这些化合物可能在成像应用中具有价值，并为有效地从水溶液中去除技术的物质指明了方向。教育努力将改善亨特学院的教学计划，特别是与少数族裔学生有关的计划。

Dr. Lynn C. Francesconi, Chemistry Department, CUNY Hunter College, is supported by the Inorganic, Bioinorganic, and Organometallic Chemistry Program of the Chemistry Division under a Faculty Early Career Advancement Award to prepare technetium oxide molecules and to pursue a five pronged program to improve the educational experiences offered at Hunter College. In the research component technicium will be incorported into cage polyoxoanion structures of tungsten, molybdenum, vanadium, and phosphorus. In the educational component outside institutional research collaborations will be established and the supervision of undergraduate research students will be delegated to graduate students in order the improve the relevance and vitality of the graduate training. At the undergraduate level increased laboratory participation will be accomplished by a redesign of the courses and the undergraduate research experience, communication and student involvement will be increased in the freshman course through the institution of a workshop approach, and a new inorganic chemistry lecture course will be devised. Technecium is used as an imaging agent in medicine and occurs as a component in radioactive wastes. This research will produce new compounds which may be valuable both in the imaging application and point the way to substances which can efficiently remove technecium from water solutions. The educational efforts will improve the teaching program at Hunter College, particularly as it relates to minority students.
