Nominator's project description
| Most of the scientific work of Prof. Bohumil Stibr is concerend with carboranes. Carboranes are cage or cluster compounds in which boron and carbon atoms build the structures. Reports on the first carboranes were published only about 40 years ago, and after this, the bonding modes of carbon had to be reconsidered in terms of high connectivity of carbon atoms with coordination numbers of five or six. Prof. Stibr has discovered numerous new carboranes, he has optimised their synthesis and he has described elegant methods for their conversion into other carborane clusters and metalla-carboranes. Exactly in this field he wants to work in Bayreuth, taking advatage of the nuclear magnetic resonance facilities available in order to further characterise the novel structures. |
