With this grant in the Organic an Macromolecular Chemistry Program,             Dr. J. E. McMurry will attempt to encapsulate ions (cations and anions)         within the very restrictive cavity of bicyclo?4.4.4!tetradecane                 derivatives. These ions can be viewed as models for what is believe to          be the transition states of common Organic reactions that follow                cationic (carbonium ion) or anionic (SN2) mechanistic paths.  One such          cation, with a symmetrical C-H-C three center two electron bond, has            been prepared and fully characterized.  Similarly a fluorine cation             will be formed and investigated.  The complimentary preparation and             study of anionic encapsulated hydrogen and fluorine will be pursued.            The preparation of these kinds of charged organic systems will make             fundamental contributions to our knowledge of chemical bonding.                                                                                                 The facilities available to Professor McMurry are suitable for the              research to be conducted, and the prior results of the Principal                Investigator demonstrate his abilities.
