In this project in the Inorganic, Bioinorganic and Organo- metallic Chemistry Program, Dr. Hillhouse will continue his studies on the organometallic chemistry of nitrous oxide. Specific objectives of the study include the development of new preparative methods for the synthesis of oxometal complexes, development of selective methods for oxidation of organic molecules, and exploration of the binding of nitrous oxide by metal complexes. Both early and late transition metal systems will be studied. %%% Nitrous oxide has a well deserved reputation as an unreactive gas; however, thermodynamically it is a very potent oxidant and when used as an oxidizing reagent would give dinitrogen as an environmentally benign reduction product. In spite of its usual low reactivity nitrous oxide is a threat to the environment. Therefore fundamental studies of its reactivity have the potential for development of an oxidant with no harmful by-products and to provide for new ways to deal with an environmental threat.

在无机、生物无机和有机金属化学项目的这个项目中，Hillhouse 博士将继续研究一氧化二氮的有机金属化学。 该研究的具体目标包括开发合成氧金属络合物的新制备方法、开发有机分子氧化的选择性方法以及探索一氧化二氮与金属络合物的结合。 早期和晚期过渡金属体系都将被研究。 %%% 一氧化二氮作为惰性气体享有盛誉；然而，从热力学角度来说，它是一种非常有效的氧化剂，当用作氧化剂时，会产生二氮作为一种对环境无害的还原产物。 尽管一氧化二氮的反应性通常较低，但它仍然对环境构成威胁。 因此，对其反应性的基础研究有可能开发出一种没有有害副产物的氧化剂，并提供应对环境威胁的新方法。
