Metal Complexes Supported by Redox-Active Pyridylpyrrolide Ligands: Conceptually New Platforms for Greenhouse Gas Remediation and Group Transfer Catalysis

化学部支持印第安纳大学的Skye Fortier成为美国化学竞争力研究员。福蒂埃博士将致力于利用富含稀土的过渡金属和非无害的配体合成新的氧化还原催化剂。国际和平研究所将与阿贡国家实验室和罗斯福大学(芝加哥)的科学家合作。这项研究的最终目标是开发高效、廉价的化学合成催化剂。在扩大参与度的计划中，福蒂埃将指导印第安纳大学的年轻科学家，并参加一个面向高中生和教师的科学夏令营。像福蒂埃博士这样的研究旨在开发更好的进行化学反应的方法。Fortier博士将开发的催化剂将使用地球上丰富的材料，因此将会更便宜。这样的研究结果可以帮助科学家和化学工业进行对环境影响较小的化学研究。福蒂埃博士正在进行的扩大参与的努力，旨在让年轻科学家和公众接触到化学科学。

The Division of Chemistry supports Skye Fortier of the University of Indiana as an American Competitiveness in Chemistry Fellow. Dr. Fortier will work on synthesizing new redox catalysts using earth-abundant transition metals and 'non-innocent' ligands. The PI will collaborate with scientists at Argonne National Laboratory and Roosevelt University (Chicago). The ultimate goal of this research is to develop efficient, inexpensive catalysts for chemical synthesis. For his plan for broadening participation, Dr. Fortier will mentor young scientists at Indiana University and participate in a science summer camp for high school students and teachers. Research like that of Dr. Fortier is aimed at developing better ways of conducting chemical reactions. The catalysts that Dr. Fortier will develop will use earth-abundant materials, and as a result will be less expensive. The results of research like this can help scientists and the chemical industry do chemistry with less environmental impact. The efforts at broadening participation being pursued by Dr. Fortier are aimed at giving a young scientists and the public exposure to the chemical sciences.
