The recent synthesis of new compounds containing transition metals,             such as iron or cobalt, and so-called "main group" elements, such as            boron or arsenic, has provided examples of new types of chemical                bonding to challenge the theorist.  These new compounds also show               great promise for practical application as precursors of solid state            materials with desirable properties.  For example, one of the                   compounds synthesized in the Principal Investigator's laboratory is a           logical precursor for the preparation of metallic glass films.                                                                                                  It is proposed to:                                                                                                                                                      a.  prepare and charactierize metal-rich borane systems                    (including borides) and investigate their properties                                     and reactivities;                                                                                                                                           b.  develop a fundamental understanding of metal-substituted               borane, particularly the effect of the transition metal                               on the reactivity of a BH bond;                                                                                                                                c.  design and execute the synthesis of selected borane                          mimics of known organometallic compounds;                                                                                                                      d.  continue to develop the use of Lewis base adducts of                         borane and other main group hydrides as dual reagents,                          i.e., reagents that "activate" a transition metal                          compound and "insert" borane.
