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.

该职业奖在无机，生物无机和有机金属化学计划中支持了康奈尔大学化学系Geoffrey W. Coates博士对聚合物合成的研究和教育。 该研究的目的是开发新的催化剂，以控制二氧化碳和环氧化物的共聚。 过渡金属复合物，特别是二胺和手性黄酮，将用作主链中具有杂环基团的聚合物的启动器。 通过修改这些组，预计可生物降解的聚合物会产生。 该反应的机制将被研究，潜在的合成应用也将进行。 聚合物化学将是向K-12学生进行外展计划的基础，重新设计了一部分本科有机化学实验室以及研究生的工业互动。 康奈尔材料研究中心将成为许多这些活动的重点。
