For the period 1993-5, twelve undergraduate students will spend ten weeks each summer actively engaged in a variety of research projects. Projects cover the traditional areas of chemistry-analytical, inorganic, organic, physical and biochemistry. A unique feature of this program is the primary focus is on students from small colleges including minority institutions east of the Mississippi that do not have facilities to carry out research.This equipment will enhance research in a number of areas including the following: (1) structural investigation of organic donor-acceptor solids and high-spin polyradical ions (2) characterization of unimolecular rectifiers and organic conductors (3) study of polyradical ions and other extractant interactions with metal ions (4) investigation of novel superacid catalysts, and (5) study of mutinuclear chromium-carboxylate assemblies. The X-ray diffractometer is used to make accurate and precise measurements of the full three dimensional structure of a molecule. The information obtained gives the precise values of all the bond distances and bond angles of a given molecule and it gives accurate information about the spatial arrangement of the molecule relative to the neighboring molecules.For the period 1990-92, twelve (12) undergraduate students will spend ten (10) weeks each summer actively engaged in a variety of research projects. Projects range from synthetic biochemistry to catalysis to study of thin films. The department will view the program as successful if students continue in research careers. A unique feature of this program is the involvement of high school teachers and students.For the period 1996-98, thirteen undergraduate students will spend ten weeks each summer actively engaged in basic research projects drawn from the traditional areas of chemistry and biochemistry, with one student specializing in ethical issues. In addition to individualized research projects and seminars in chemistry, the program features an ethics component in which participants develop a teaching module with ethical issues that would be pertinent to students in chemistry. Participants are recruited primarily from small colleges located east of the Mississippi River including predominantly minority institutions.
