This award from the Inorganic, Bioinorganic and Organometallic                  Chemistry Program is in the area of organometallic chemistry.                   The focus of the project is the mechanisms of reactions of new                  compounds in which two iron atoms are held together by a                        hydrocarbon bridge. Such compounds are important reagents for                   the synthesis of a wide variety of organic compounds, and                       information about their reaction mechanisms is expected to lead                 to improvements in synthetic methodology.                                                                                                                       The reactivity of new diiron compounds with bridging                            hydrocarbon ligands will be explored, and the mechanisms of new                 reactions of these compounds will be explored in depth. It is                   anticipated that this study will lead to several new                            carbon-carbon bond forming reactions of potential use in                        organic synthesis. In order for this synthetic potential to be                  realized, ways of cleaving the bridging hydrocarbyl group from                  the diiron complex will be explored. The mechanism of                           cyclopropane formation in the reactions of metal-carbene                        complexes with alkenes will be studied, and an attempt will be                  made to generate the suggested intermediates in                                 cycloproponation reactions to see if they lead to                               cyclopropanes. The reactions of metal carbene complexes which                   are neither strong nucleophiles nor strong electrophiles will                   be explored to fill an important gap in the understanding of                    metal-carbene complexes.
