Acquisition of an Inert Atmosphere Drybox for Organometallic Chemistry Research

该奖项由化学研究仪器和设施 （CRIF）计划和主要研究仪器（MRI）计划将 帮助圣约翰大学化学系获得 惰性气氛干燥箱系统。 这些设备将有助于研究 在一些领域，包括以下：（1）空间位阻和 烷基酚还原消除反应中的电子效应 系列钌（Ⅱ）配合物，（2）烃基钌（Ⅱ）配合物的合成， (3)高价钼（VI）氧代烷基合成及反应性研究 （4）新杂环化合物的合成。 惰性气氛干燥箱是一个必须的研究，其中涉及空气- 和湿度敏感材料。干燥箱的使用允许 研究人员操纵化学合成的不稳定或自燃 材料.

This award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities (CRIF) Program and the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program will help the Department of Chemistry at the St. Johns University to acquire an inert atmosphere drybox system. This equipment will enhance research in a number of areas including the following: (1) the role of steric and electronic effects in the reduction elimination of alkyl hydrides from a series of Ru(II) complexes, (2) synthesis of Ru(II) hydrocarbyl hydrides, (3) synthetic and reactivity studies of high-valent Mo(VI) oxo alkyl hydrides, and (4) synthesis of new heterobimetallic compounds. The inert atmosphere drybox is a must for research which involves air- and moisture sensitive materials. The use of the drybox allows the researcher to manipulate chemical synthesis of unstable or pyrophoric materials.
