This grant, funded jointly by Special Projects in Chemistry and                 the Division of Materials Research provides support for the                     research of Profs. Caulton and Chisholm at the University of                    Indiana.  The objective of the research is to apply the                         principles of molecular inorganic and organometallic chemistry                  to the synthesis of useful solid-state materials such as metal                  carbides, nitrides and high temperature superconducting oxides.                                                                                                 The carbide and nitrides can be made by conversion of molecular                 carbides and nitrides or by converting hydrocarbyl or amido                     ligands to these atomic groups by thermal or photochemical                      methods. Surface coating with tungsten carbide is proposed via                  condensation of tungsten alkoxide bonds with surface hydroxyl                   groups. Molecular precursors to oxide superconductors will be                   made by condensing copper, barium and yttrium alkoxides, in                     certain cases augmented by oxo and peroxo-ligands. The final                    conversion of alkoxo to oxo ligands will be effected thermally,                 hydrolytically, photochemically and by using ultrasound or                      electron-transfer oxidation. The organic ligands will be                        optimized in the molecular precursors for the final conversion                  to the solid materials.
