Novel Transition Metal Catalyzed Chemistry

通过这个奖项，有机和高分子化学项目支持了芝加哥伊利诺伊大学的Victor Gevorgyan教授的工作。Gevorgyan教授将继续研究利用过渡金属催化制备芳香族和杂芳族化合物的新合成方法。他希望将这些新化合物用作制备药物或新材料的基础。这项拟议的研究处于有机金属和有机化学的交界处，还将提供本科生(独立研究和SROP定期参与PI的实验室)、研究生和博士后水平的多学科培训。这项研究也将对继续教育产生广泛影响，因为PI的实验室在任何给定的时间都有2到5名本科生与研究生和博士后一起工作。它还将通过活跃在UIC的教师研究经验方案(RET)为教师提供更多的研究机会。通过扩大教师的背景，科学的吸引力可以传递给他们的学生，增加将攻读科学作为专业的人数。更广泛的影响：拟议的工作预计将在健康相关领域产生更广泛的影响，因为它提供了通往具有生物重要性的中间体的新的、有效的路线；在材料科学领域，它使人们能够方便地获得有价值的构件，这些构件可用于快速组装复杂的框架和结合材料。这项拟议的研究处于有机金属和有机化学与催化的交界处，还将提供本科生(独立研究和SROP，定期参与PI的实验室)、研究生和博士后水平的多学科培训。这项研究也将对继续教育产生广泛影响，因为PI的实验室在任何给定的时间都有2到5名本科生与研究生和博士后一起工作。它还将通过活跃在UIC的教师研究经验方案(RET)为教师提供更多的研究机会。通过扩大教师的背景，科学的吸引力可以传递给他们的学生，增加将攻读科学作为专业的人数。

With this award, the Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry Program supports the work of Professor Victor Gevorgyan of the University of Illinois at Chicago. Professor Gevorgyan will continue to investigate new synthetic methodologies to prepare aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds using transition metal catalysis. He hopes to use these new compounds as building blocks in the preparation of pharmaceuticals or new materials. The proposed research, which is at the interface of organometallic and organic chemistry, will also provide multidisciplinary training at undergraduate (independent research and SROP regularly engaged in the PI's labs), graduate, and postdoctoral levels. The research would have broad impact on continuing education as well, as the PI's labs have between 2 and 5 undergraduates working with graduate students and postdocs at any given time. It will also provide additional research opportunity for teachers through the Research Experience for Teachers program (RET), which is active at UIC. By expanding teachers' background, science's appeal can be relayed to their students, increasing the number who will pursue science as a major. Broader Impacts: The proposed work is expected to have broader impacts in the health related areas by providing new, effective routes to biologically important intermediates, and in material sciences by allowing easy access to valuable building blocks, which could be utilized in the rapid assembly of complex frameworks and conjugated materials.
