This project in materials chemistry is sponsored jointly by the                 Inorganic, Bioinorganic and Organometallic Chemistry Program                    and the Polymers Program. The research will apply reagents,                     reactions and components drawn from organometallic chemistry to                 problems in surface and interfacial chemistry and materials                     science. The research is expected to lead to new methods for                    making several kinds of important materials, such as highly                     ordered thin films and polymers which are stable at high                        temperatures.                                                                                                                                                   The research falls in four broad areas:                                                1) Catalytic C-H bond activation using homogeneous                       reactions;                                                                             2) Surface organometallic chemistry, especially the                      chemistry of metal surface alkyls and of coordination complexes                 on metal and metal oxide surfaces. Self-assembled, oriented                     organic monolayer films prepared by coordination of appropriate                 organic bases to metal and metal oxide surfaces are of                          particular interest.                                                                   3) New functional and temperature-stable polymers,                       including all-carbon-backbone condensation polymers and highly                  branched polymers, made using organometallic processes;                                4) The organic solid state, particularly                                 hyper-crosslinked organic solids and organometallic thin films                  prepared by sol-gel methods.
