The main objectives of this project are the following: Preparation and characterization of transition metal complexes with nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur donor ligands especially the poly(pyrazolyl)borate ligands; preparation of bimetallic complexes of molybdenum and other metal such as nickel, cobalt, and iron; determination of the ability of the above complexes to catalytically reduce polycyclic aromatic or heterocyclic compounds; evaluation of these complexes as a coal liquefaction catalysts; evaluation of these complexes as desulfurization and denitrogenation catalysts; and training of students in transition metal complex preparation and characterization and in the evaluation of metal complexes as process catalysts.
