This award supports the participation of Drs. Ralph Zingaro and Edward          Meyers of Texas A&M University in collaborative research with Drs. N.           Petragnani and J. Comasseto of the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil.             The focus of their joint effort is the characterization of physico-             chemical properties of new tellurium (Te) and selenium (Se) compounds           which have been synthesized by the two groups.  Both groups have well           established programs in this unusual area of organometallic chemistry,          and their prior collaboration has been very productive.  In                     particular, the Brazilian group has expertise in synthesis of Se/Te             organometallics and the development of general synthetic routes for             various classes of such materials.  The U.S. group, in addition to              their experience in synthesis, has expertise and state of the art               instrumentation for spectroscopic characterization and single crystal           x-ray structural determination of new compounds.  This complementary            expertise devoted to an area of mutual interest has resulted in very            fruitful collaboration in the past which can be expected to continue.                                                                                           Organometallic chemistry has become an increasingly important field             because of the potential uses of such compounds as electronic                   materials.  The principle investigators in this collaboration have              contributed substantially to our knowledge of Se and Te organometallic          compounds, which should prove to be important for the development of            new methods for the preparation of novel electronic materials.
