Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Recent and continuing developments in experimental and data-analysis aspects of gas electron diffraction will be exploited by application to key areas of inorganic chemistry. Investments in hardware ( enhancing experimental capacity ), software for scanning ( yielding dramatic savings in scanning costs ) and computers ( for data analysis and computational chemistry ) will increase efficiency. These are recent advances allow study of larger, more complex and less volatile compounds than was previously possible. Applications will therefore concentrate on four areas:1) MOCVD precursors, including amido and imido compounds, correlating properties of molecular precursors with those of their ultimate thermal or photochemical decomposition products;2) Metal complexes, particularly phospha-organometallic compounds and sandwich compounds;3) Intramolecular interactions, including steric effects in crowded molecules and donor-acceptor bonds;4) Boranes and derivatives - carbaboranes and other heteroboranes, including metallaboranes.The research has been planned to involve members of the research groups of the collaborators, so that training in the techniques of electron diffraction is a significant part of the work.
