This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). This Research award in the Inorganic, Bioinorganic and Organometallic Chemistry program supports work by Professor Linda Doerrer at Boston University to carry out fundamental and basic studies on transition metal complexes with fluorinated groups bound to them through oxygen atoms. These metals such as iron, cobalt, nickel and copper have been used by humans for millennia but only now are we working to make as efficient use of them as possible. Professor Doerrer has chosen to study these earth abundant materials in combination with Teflon-coated groups that make them very stable under harsh reaction conditions. When in the presence of highly reactive species that transfer oxygen or nitrogen atoms, these robust metal-alkoxide molecules have the ability to form new compounds more efficiently than previous generations of molecules. The latter would partially self-destruct along the way. For environmentally benign processes and efficient production, understanding the fundamentals of the reaction of the metal compound with the carbon-based substrates is critical. This research program will have a profound influence on the lives of several young scientists that participate in and are trained through the program, including graduate and undergraduate students. These students will further influence the high school students who work in and visit the Doerrer lab and see the extension of their classroom-based ideas into the unknown realm of contemporary research at the frontiers of inorganic chemistry. The overall impact of this work will lead to improved understanding of materials and methods for synthesizing high value carbon-based compounds for use in many realms of human endeavor.

该奖项是根据2009年《美国复苏与再投资法》（公法111-5）资助的。该研究奖在波士顿大学的琳达·杜雷尔（Linda Doerrer）教授授予的无机，生物有机和有机金属化学计划中，该奖项对通过氧原子绑定的氟化基团进行过渡金属复合物进行了基础和基础研究。 这些金属（例如铁，钴，镍和铜）已被人类使用了数千年，但直到现在，我们才努力使它们尽可能有效地利用它们。 Doerrer教授选择将这些地球丰富的材料与特氟龙包被的群体结合在一起，从而使它们在恶劣的反应条件下非常稳定。 当存在传递氧或氮原子的高反应性物种时，这些坚固的金属烷氧化物分子具有比前几代分子更有效地形成新化合物的能力。后者将在此过程中部分自我毁灭。 对于环境良性的过程和有效的生产，了解金属化合物与碳基底物的反应的基本原理至关重要。 该研究计划将对参加并通过该计划进行培训的几位年轻科学家的生活产生深远的影响，包括研究生和本科生。 这些学生将进一步影响工作并参观Doerrer实验室的高中学生，并将其基于课堂的想法扩展到无机化学领域的当代研究未知领域。 这项工作的总体影响将导致人们对材料和方法的理解，以合成高价值碳基化合物，以用于人类努力的许多领域。
