This CAREER award in the Inorganic, Bioinorganic, and Organometallic Chemistry Program supports research and education on polymer synthesis by Dr. Geoffrey W. Coates in the Chemistry Department, Cornell University. The goal of the research is to develop new catalysts for the controlled copolymerization of carbon dioxide and epoxides. Transition metal complexes, specifically zinc diimines and chiral oxazolines, will be used as initiators for polymers that have heterocyclic groups in the main chain. By modification of these groups, polymers that are biodegradable are expected to result. The mechanism of the reaction will be investigated, as will potential synthetic applications. Polymer chemistry will be the basis of outreach programs to K-12 students, redesign of a portion of the undergraduate organic chemistry laboratory, and industrial interactions for graduate students. The Cornell Center for Materials Research will be the focus for many of these activities.

该无机、生物无机和有机金属化学项目的职业奖支持康奈尔大学化学系 Geoffrey W. Coates 博士在聚合物合成方面的研究和教育。 该研究的目标是开发用于二氧化碳和环氧化物受控共聚的新型催化剂。 过渡金属络合物，特别是锌二亚胺和手性恶唑啉，将用作主链上具有杂环基团的聚合物的引发剂。 通过对这些基团的修饰，预计会产生可生物降解的聚合物。 将研究该反应的机理以及潜在的合成应用。 高分子化学将成为针对 K-12 学生的外展项目、本科生有机化学实验室的一部分重新设计以及研究生工业互动的基础。 康奈尔材料研究中心将成为其中许多活动的焦点。
