Cleavage and Formation of C-S and C-N Bonds in Heterocyclic Compounds by Homogeneous Transition Metal Complexes

罗切斯特大学的William Jones教授得到无机，生物无机和有机化学计划的支持，以开发在杂环分子中切割或形成C-S或C-N键的反应的合成和机理方面。 该项目的硫部分由加氢脱硫和储氢应用驱动。与氮的工作集中在芳基亚胺中的C-H键活化作为杂环合成的方法。该项目更广泛的影响包括工业上重要的深度加氢脱硫反应。 该项目通过罗切斯特大学的正式项目扩大理科学生的多样性，该项目涉及与高中生、本科生、研究生和四年制大学教师的一系列互动。

Professor William Jones of the University of Rochester is supported by the Inorganic, Bioinorganic and Organometallic Chemistry program to develop synthetic and mechanistic aspects of reactions that cleave or form C-S or C-N bonds in heterocyclic molecules. The sulfur portion of the project is driven by hydrodesulfurization and hydrogen storage applications. Work with nitrogen is focused on C-H bond activation in arylimines as a methodology for heterocycle synthesis. The broader impacts of this project include deep hydrodesulfurization reactions of importance industrially. The program is expanding the diversity of science students through formal programs in place at the University of Rochester, and the project involves an array of interactions with high school students, undergraduates, graduate students and faculty at four year colleges.
