Summary: Investigations within the project encompass: (a) Synthesis,
spectroscopic and theoretical studies of 7-oxanorbornenes connected via
sigma, pi or aromatic bridges with emphasis on studying nature of
long-range intramolecular interactions between lone pairs and their
influence on the extent of pi,pi-interactions within considered molecules;
(2) Synthesis, spectroscopic and theoretical studies of strained organic
and organometallic compounds; (3) Thermochemistry of novel organometallic
derivatives of cyclopropene; (4) development of ionic hydrogenation
systems of interest for coal chemistry.
Research goals: The results are expected (1) to contribute to the
understanding of the mechanism of intramolecular orbital interactions of
interest for understanding electron transfer processes in fused
7-oxanorbornenes and their saturated and/or substituted analogues ; (2) to
provide a firm experimental basis for understanding the influence of 14b
metals on the electronic structure and reactivity of strained hydrocarbons;
(3) to contribute to the development of new building blocks and reagents
for their "glueing" into macropolycyclic systems of practical interest as
well as to the development of specific, highly selective reaction
procedures (as ionic hydrogenation), thus leading eventually to new useful
materials; (4) to shed light on the reactivity and biochemical activity of
vitamin C derivatives.
