Based on Dr Wang's invention of migration insertion polymerization (MIP) and recent discoveries of metal carbonyl (MC) self-assembled vesicles, MC supramolecular chemistry is proposed. The originality and novelty of the proposed work will lead to new directions of research for several fields, including supramolecular chemistry, organometallic polymer and colloids. With sufficient support, Dr Wang will be an international leader in these fields.******Dr Wang discovered that hydrophobic, non-surface active CpPPh3Fe(CO)CO(CH2)5CH3 (FpC6), as an MC building block, can self-assemble in water into uniform vesicles with high membrane integration. The colloids are stabilized via the balance of water-carbonyl interaction (WCI), hydrophobic hydration (HH) and hydrophobic interaction (HI). This aqueous behavior of MCs bears a resemblance to many natural systems, e.g. proteins. MC supramolecular chemistry will therefore offer an experimental system to verify the arbitrary theories for WCI, HH and HI established mainly based on complicated biological systems and computation chemistry. ***FpC6 is also able to assemble in solid state into the first example of well-characterized supramolecular duplex chains via intermolecular pi-pi interaction and hydrogen bonding with CO as acceptor. This discovery is achieved via reverse crystal engineering. By varying the chemical structure of MCs, assembling conditions and additives, unusual opportunities arise to learn the synergy of multiple interactions that is essential for designed synthesis. The duplex chains, rarely observed, are potentially useful materials with combined properties of macromolecules and locally ordered MC groups, providing new concepts for industrial R covered with MCs. This unique feature will be explored for potential applications as nanoreactors and scavengers for contaminants in water. ***This research will: 1) create an experimental system bridging natural assembling systems and supramolecular chemistry; 2) create new concepts for novel materials; 3) advance a number of scientific frontiers, including organometallic polymers, supramolecular chemistry and aqueous colloids; 4) provide a cutting-edge training platform. Canadian science and industry will therefore benefit from the expected world-firsts in knowledge and HQPs behind them.******

基于王博士发明的迁移插入聚合（MIP）和最近发现的羰基金属（MC）自组装囊泡，提出了MC超分子化学。该工作的原创性和新颖性将为多个领域带来新的研究方向，包括超分子化学、有机金属聚合物和胶体。有了足够的支持，王博士将成为这些领域的国际领导者。 ******王博士发现疏水性非表面活性CpPPh3Fe(CO)CO(CH2)5CH3 (FpC6)作为MC构建块，可以在水中自组装成具有高膜集成度的均匀囊泡。胶体通过水-羰基相互作用 (WCI)、疏水水合 (HH) 和疏水相互作用 (HI) 的平衡来稳定。 MC 的这种水行为与许多自然系统相似，例如蛋白质。因此，MC超分子化学将提供一个实验系统来验证主要基于复杂生物系统和计算化学建立的WCI、HH和HI任意理论。 ***FpC6 还能够通过分子间 pi-pi 相互作用和以 CO 作为受体的氢键，以固态组装成第一个表征良好的超分子双链链。这一发现是通过逆向晶体工程实现的。通过改变MC的化学结构、组装条件和添加剂，出现了不寻常的机会来了解对于设计合成至关重要的多种相互作用的协同作用。双链体很少被观察到，但它是具有大分子和局部有序 MC 基团综合特性的潜在有用材料，为 MC 覆盖的工业 R 提供了新概念。我们将探索这一独特功能作为纳米反应器和水中污染物清除剂的潜在应用。 ***这项研究将：1）创建一个连接自然组装系统和超分子化学的实验系统； 2）为新材料创造新概念； 3）推进多项科学前沿，包括有机金属聚合物、超分子化学和水性胶体； 4）提供前沿的培训平台。因此，加拿大科学和工业将受益于预期的世界第一知识及其背后的总部。******
