Synthesis and applications of polymerizable building-block heterocycles and their metal complexes

本提案中描述的研究涉及合成新型杂环结构，这些结构最终将用于开发新的聚合物材料。含有双噻唑和双咪唑核心的电聚合结构将被用于合成可聚合的金属络合物。有机分子在金属中心周围的螺旋排列将赋予它们有趣的光学、催化和感官性质。在电化学氢化实验中，这些结构作为“手性催化剂”的潜力是需要探索的。

The research described in this proposal concerns the synthesis of novel heterocyclic structures that will ultimately be used for the development of new polymer materials. Electropolymerizable structures involving bithiazole and biimidazole cores will be used for the synthesis of polymerizable metal complexes. The helical arrangement of organic molecules around the metal center in these complexes will endow them with interesting optical, catalytic, and sensory properties. The untapped potential for these structures to act as "chiral catalysts" in electrochemical hydrogenation experiments is something that needs to be explored.
