CAREER: Dioxygen and Palladium in Catalysis: Mechanisms and Applications

国家科学基金会化学部的无机，生物无机和有机化学计划支持麦迪逊威斯康星州大学化学系的Shannon斯塔尔博士获得职业奖。该项目将涉及（1）旨在阐明钯如何将有机底物的氧化与分子氧的还原偶联的机理研究，以及（2）将机理见解应用于开发新型氧化催化剂。该奖项还支持开发一门新的大一/大二无机化学入门课程，将现代研究发展融入课堂教学，包括过渡金属催化，绿色化学，燃料电池和电池以及生物无机化学元素等主题。在某种程度上，有机分子的选择性氧化是商品和精细化工行业的核心，这项工作将有助于设计新的、更有效的和选择性的氧化催化剂。研究生和博士后助理将在催化当前感兴趣的活跃领域进行培训。本科生将接触和教授化学元素，这些元素目前在绿色化学和能源的重要领域具有高度的研究优先权。

The Inorganic, Bioinorganic and Organometallic Chemistry program of the Division of Chemistry, National Science Foundation, supports Dr. Shannon Stahl, Chemistry Department, University of Wisconsin at Madison, for his work under a Career Award. The project will involve (1) mechanistic studies designed to clarify how palladium couples the oxidation of organic substrates to the reduction of dioxygen, and (2) application of mechanistic insights into developing novel oxidation catalysts. The award also supports development of a new freshman/sophomore course in introductory inorganic chemistry that will integrate modern research developments into classroom teaching, including such topics as transition metal catalysis, green chemistry, fuel cells and batteries, and elements of bioinorganic chemistry.To the extent that selective oxidation of organic molecules lies at the heart of commodity and fine chemical industries, this work will facilitate the design of new, more efficient and selective oxidation catalysts. Graduate students and post-doctoral associates will be trained in an active area of current interest in catalysis. Undergraduate students will be exposed to and taught elements of chemistry that are currently of high research priority in the important spheres of green chemistry and energy.
