This project in the Inorganic, Bioinorganic and Organometallic                  Chemistry Program is concerned with the synthesis and chemical                  properties of new main group element carborane derivatives and                  metallacarboranes. Studies in four areas are being pursued. In                  the first of these, studies of main group carborane derivatives                 are continuing, with an increased emphasis on reactivity                        relationships aimed at a greater understanding of the chemistry                 of these unusual compounds. Of particular interest is the                       chemistry of novel ıNe!-core main group element sandwich                        complexes, as well as exploration of potential applications of                  these and related carborane derivatives. The second area is the                 synthesis of novel carborane-based cyclic and polymeric                         materials derived from the dicarbanastide cage. In the third                    area novel insertion of metal cluster fragments into polyhedral                 boron hydride cages is being used for the synthesis of                          dinuclear metallaborane complexes. These complexes are of                       fundamental interest because they meld the chemistries of                       polyhedral boron hydrides and metal carbonyl clusters. The                      final category of studies is an effort to synthesize new                        lanthanide element derivatives of the metallacarborane type.                                                                                                    Some of the new materials which will be synthesized are                         expected to have interesting physical properties possibly                       including desirable electronic and/or spectral properties, and                  some will be useful precursors for the synthesis of interesting                 materials.
