U.S. - Mexico Collaborative Research: Activation of C-C Bonds in Nitriles with Transition Metals

0102217琼斯这个美洲计划奖将为威廉·D.罗切斯特大学的琼斯和墨西哥国立自治大学的朱文蒂诺·J·加西亚·亚历杭德雷博士进行了为期两年的研究，研究使用过渡金属络合物裂解碳-碳键的新方法。 NSF的无机、生物无机和有机化合物项目提供了部分支持，该项目的目标是发现能够裂解各种芳香族和脂肪族分子中碳-碳键的新化合物。该项目将受益于合作者的互补专业知识，美国研究人员提供必要的设备来分析和表征化合物，墨西哥研究人员提供大量的合成能力和反应产物表征。 过渡金属化合物对碳-碳键的断裂是有机金属化学家面临的最大挑战之一。 迄今为止，只有少数几个关于这种困难反应的例子被报道。 因此，该项目有可能增加我们对这些重要化学过程的理解。

0102217JonesThis Americas Program award will provide support for cooperative research between Dr. William D. Jones of the University of Rochester and Dr. Juventino J. Garcia Alejandre of the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico to do a two-year study of new methods for the cleavage of carbon-carbon bonds using transition metal complexes. A portion of this support is being provided by NSF's Inorganic, Bioinorganic and Organometallic Program.The goal of this project is to discover new compounds that can cleavage carbon-carbon bonds in a variety of aromatic and aliphatic molecules. The project will benefit from the complementary expertise of the collaborators, with the U.S. researchers providing the necessary equipment to analyze and characterize the compounds, and the Mexican researchers providing their substantial synthetic capabilities and reaction product characterization. The cleavage of carbon-carbon bonds by transition metal compounds is one of the greatest challenges to organometallic chemists. Only a few examples of this difficult reaction have been reported to date. Consequently, this project has the potential to increase our understanding of these important chemical processes.***
