This Presidential Young Investigator Award from the Inorganic,                  Bioinorganic and Organometallic Chemistry Program is in the                     area of organometallic chemistry.  The focus of the project is                  compounds with metal-ligand multiple bonds, in particular                       metal-oxo complexes.  The goal is to understand at a                            fundamental level the electronic and geometric factors that                     influence the strength, stability and reactivity of                             metal-ligand multiple bonds.  The recent discovery of novel                     low-valent rhenium-oxo compounds, together with studies of                      their electronic structure and their reaction chemistry, has                    thrown new light on the unusual properties of terminal oxo                      ligands.  The information derived from the rhenium-oxo                          compounds will be used in designing highly reactive metal-oxo                   complexes.                                                                                                                                                      This is a new field of substantial importance.  Metal oxides                    are widely used as catalysts, catalyst supports and as reagents                 for selective transformations of organic compounds.  A number                   of enzymatic reactions involve metal-oxo species, and the                       metal-oxo group is a fundamental building block of many                         important solid-state materials.
