Student – scholarship position available in the Institute of Physical Chemistry PAS within NCN OPUS, no. 2020/37/B/ST4/03310, "Hypervalancy, dormant Lewis acidity and relationship between noncovalent interactions in the Group 13 organometallics (HYPE-13)" (project leader: dr inż. Iwona Justyniak)

The goals of this project are the theoretical and experimental investigations directed toward the factors controlling the structure and reactivity of Group 13 organometallic complexes to provide a framework for a unified look at both the dormant Lewis acidity and the bonding situation in electron-rich hypervalent molecules, and unraveling the role of non-covalent interactions on the properties of the complexes in question.

Student will be involved in the realization of research tasks:

  • Comprehensive structure analysis of 5-coordinate Group 13 complexes included in the Cambridge Structural Database
  • Synthesis, and characterization of new model Group 13 organometallic complexes (Al and Ga)
  • Investigation reactivity of 4-coordinate dialkyl Group 13 complexes towards small molecules like carbon dioxide, water and alcohols.
