U.S.- U.K. Cooperative Research: The Chemistry of Larger Membrane Clusters

0000427巴顿这个为期三年的奖项支持美国-英国合作研究小分子与金属硼烷的反应和大多面体硼烷的研究。 该项目涉及劳伦斯·巴顿（Lawrence Barton）、密苏里州大学的一名研究生和约翰·D·。肯尼迪和一名来自利兹大学的研究生。 该研究涉及小分子与金属硼烷反应的合成、结构、行为和光谱研究，以及大多面体簇的形成，即大于通常接受的12-vertix二十面体极限的物种。美国研究员为这次合作带来了聚硼烷和金属聚硼烷化学和X射线衍射测量方面的专业知识。 这一点得到了英国的补充。研究人员在聚硼烷簇和核磁共振光谱学领域的专业知识。 大部分核磁共振联合工作将在利兹实验室进行。该项目将促进对金属硼烷簇的理解，并可能产生具有非常新颖性质的化合物。

0000427BartonThis three-year award supports U.S.-U.K. collaborative research on reactions of small molecules with metallaboranes and studies of macropolyhedral boranes. The project involves Lawrence Barton and a graduate student from the University of Missouri and John D. Kennedy and a graduate student from the University of Leeds. The research addresses synthetic, structural, behavioral and spectroscopic studies of the reactions of small molecules with metallaboranes and the formation of macropolyhedral clusters, i.e. species larger than the typically accepted limit of 12-vertix icosahedron.The U.S. investigator brings to this collaboration expertise in polyborane and metallapolyborane chemistry and x-ray diffraction measurements. This is complemented by the U.K. investigator's expertise in the field of polyborane clusters and in NMR spectroscopy. Much of the NMR joint work will take place in the Leeds laboratory. The project will advance understanding of metallaborane clusters and may result in compounds with very novel properties.
