Alkaline-Earth Complexes with Reactive Metal-Element Bonds

无机化学、生物无机化学和金属有机化学计划中的这个项目致力于碱土元素(钙、锶和钡)与金属-碳键的有机金属化合物的合成和反应性。大量的环戊二烯基团被用来防止这些高活性化合物的分解，这使得能够研究它们的结构以及与气态氧化物和硫化物的反应活性，包括一氧化碳、二氧化碳和二硫化碳。这些研究在一个相对被忽视的领域，将提供对这些化合物的结构和反应性的基础的基本了解，并为开发在有机、聚合物和材料化学中的应用奠定基础。将合成具有金属-碳键的碱土元素(钙、锶和钡)的化合物。有机取代基的设计是为了防止这些原本活性很高的物种的分解，从而提供了研究它们对氧和含氧分子(如一氧化碳、二氧化碳和二硫化碳)的反应性的机会。这些化合物在有机化学、聚合物化学和材料化学中具有潜在的用途。

This project in the Inorganic, Bioinorganic, and Organometallic Chemistry program addresses the synthesis and reactivity of organometallic compounds of alkaline-earth elements (calcium, strontium, and barium) with metal-carbon bonds. Bulky cyclopentadienyl groups are used to prevent decomposition of these highly reactive compounds, which allows for the study of their structures and reactivities with gaseous oxides and sulfides, including carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and carbon disulfide. These studies, in a relatively neglected area, will provide a fundamental understanding of the basis for the structures and reactivities of these compounds as well as a foundation for the development of applications in organic, polymer, and materials chemistry. Compounds of alkaline-earth elements (calcium, strontium, and barium) with metal-carbon bonds will be synthesized. The organic substituents are designed to prevent the decomposition of these otherwise highly reactive species, thus providing the opportunity to study their reactivity toward oxygen and oxygen-containing molecules such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and carbon disulfide. These compounds have potential for use in organic, polymer, and materials chemistry
