In this CAREER award funded by the Chemical Catalysis Program of the Chemistry Division, Professor Nilay Hazari of the Department of Chemistry at Yale University will develop transition metal catalysts for the conversion of carbon dioxide into organic building blocks. In particular monomeric Ni and Pd complexes that promote the formation of new C-C bonds from carbon dioxide will be targeted. This could result in the development of a functional group tolerant catalyst that can convert carbon dioxide into carboxylic acids, which are highly useful in synthetic chemistry. The broader impacts of this program include the development of a program that will encourage local high school students to visit different research laboratories at Yale.The catalytic conversion of carbon dioxide into more valuable compounds is an important problem due to the potential of this greenhouse gas as a readily available and inexpensive source of carbon in the construction of more complex molecules. Currently, there are relatively few practical methods for converting carbon dioxide into useful chemicals and the development of new catalysts for carbon dioxide conversion could have important impact on sustainable chemistry. In this work carboxylic acids which are present in many organic compounds will be synthesized from carbon dioxide. In addition, alongside the training of both undergraduate and graduate students, a program will be introduced which allows local high school students to visit chemistry laboratories.

在这项由化学系化学催化项目资助的职业奖中，耶鲁大学化学系的 Nilay Hazari 教授将开发用于将二氧化碳转化为有机构件的过渡金属催化剂。特别是促进二氧化碳形成新 C-C 键的单体 Ni 和 Pd 配合物将成为目标。这可能导致开发出一种耐受官能团的催化剂，该催化剂可以将二氧化碳转化为羧酸，这在合成化学中非常有用。该计划的更广泛影响包括制定一项计划，鼓励当地高中生参观耶鲁大学的不同研究实验室。由于这种温室气体具有作为温室气体排放的潜力，将二氧化碳催化转化为更有价值的化合物是一个重要问题。构建更复杂分子时容易获得且廉价的碳源。目前，将二氧化碳转化为有用化学品的实用方法相对较少，开发用于二氧化碳转化的新型催化剂可能会对可持续化学产生重要影响。在这项工作中，许多有机化合物中存在的羧酸将从二氧化碳合成。此外，除了本科生和研究生的培训之外，还将推出一项允许当地高中生参观化学实验室的计划。
