This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). The Inorganic, Bioinorganic and Organometallic Chemistry Program supports the research of Professor Jake Soper of the Georgia Institute of Technology (GIT) to examine the development of more cost-effective 3d metal catalysts as surrogates for expensive platinum group metal catalysts in small molecule activation and functionalization. The research promises an enhanced ability to use molecular oxygen as a selective oxidant under mild conditions. This challenging project examines the multiple electron redox capacity in later first row metal ions (ions that typically effect only one electron redox changes) by incorporating redox-active, charge-localized catecholate and amidophenolate ligands into the metal coordination sphere. These ligands supply an additional one or two electron transfer capability. New methods for the assembly of carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonding also result from this research. The educational plan includes the development of a new lecture series, focusing on energy-related research which will demonstrate chemistry fundamentals to junior Advanced Placement (AP) students at Westlake High School in Atlanta, Georgia. Mechanisms have been mapped to transfer this lecture series to other chemistry classes at Westlake High School as well as to similar programs in the state of Georgia and nationwide. A series of five-week summer laboratory internships for college-bound high school juniors and seniors is in place in the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry at GIT. The education program increases the participation of underrepresented groups in chemistry.

该奖项是根据2009年《美国复苏与再投资法》（公法111-5）资助的。 无机，生物有机和有机金属化学计划支持佐治亚理工学院（GIT）的杰克·索普教授（GIT）研究，以研究昂贵的铂金集团金属催化剂在小型分子活化和功能化中的昂贵铂金集团金属催化剂的替代的更具成本效益的3D金属催化剂的发展。 该研究有望在轻度条件下使用分子氧作为选择性氧化剂的增强能力。 这个挑战性的项目通过将氧化还原活性，电荷 - 定位的儿茶酸酯和氨基苯甲酸酯配体纳入金属坐标球体，研究了后来的第一行金属离子（通常仅影响一个电子氧化还原变化的离子）的多个电子氧化还原能力。 这些配体提供了额外的一个或两个电子传递能力。 这项研究也产生了用于组装碳碳和碳杂化粘结的新方法。 教育计划包括开发新的讲座系列，重点是与能源有关的研究，这将展示佐治亚州亚特兰大西湖高中初级高级学生（AP）学生的化学基础。 已经绘制了将该讲座系列转移到Westlake高中的其他化学课程以及佐治亚州和全国范围的类似计划的机制。 GIT的化学和生物化学学院已经建立了一系列为期五周的大学生中学生和老年人的暑期实验室实习。 教育计划增加了代表性不足的化学群体的参与。
