Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Cross-Conjugated Carbon Structures

本工作的重点将是交叉偶联3-烯-1-炔中间体 使用钯催化。 由此产生的活性聚合物将导致 环膨胀径烯的产生或管状结构的演变 螺旋结构这两种潜在产品的性质是 兴趣有了这个探索性研究小额赠款（SGER）奖， 有机合成计划正在支持埃里克·D· 蒙大拿大学化学系的Edstrom说。 埃德斯特伦教授将检验不饱和碳氢化合物 可以将单元诱导成螺旋状以提供管状螺旋结构。 预期所得聚合物显示出有趣的物理性质。 特性.

The focus of this work will be to cross-couple 3-ene-1-yne intermediates using palladium catalysis. The resulting living polymer will lead to the production of ring-expanded radialenes or the evolution of a tubular helix structure. The properties of both of the potential products are of interest. With this Small Grant for Exploratory Research (SGER) award, the Synthetic Organic Program is supporting the research of Dr. Eric D. Edstrom of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Montana. Professor Edstrom will test the hypothesis that unsaturated hydrocarbon units can be induced to polymerize to afford tubular helix structures. The resulting polymers are expected to show interesting physical properties.
