This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing theresources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject andinvestigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source,and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed isfor the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator.Our current research involves the synthesis and study of bismuth and molybdenum inorganic and organometallic compounds. Bismuth and molybdenum-containing materials have applications as, for example, * oxidation, hydrodesulfurization catalysts, * pharmaceuticals (e.g. bactericidal, anti_HIV, anti-cancer)superconductors, * solid electrolytes and ferroelectric materials, * enzyme mimics...Our approach is synthetic and mechanistic, and we use inorganic, organometallic and organic synthetic methods. Many of the compounds we use are air-sensitive, requiring careful synthetic techniques. We use NMR, FTIR, elemental analysis, and x-ray diffraction as primary characterization techniques.
