报告摘要：

Having uncovered a new cycle for a titanium catalyzed dehydrogenation of linear and volatile alkanes to α-olefins has inspired us to pursue, trap and isolate similar intermediates species involved in this important transformation. I will begin by discussing the chemistry of titanium alkylidynes and methylidenes, and extending this work to vanadium alkylidynes and their application in the cyclic polymerization of phenylacetylene via the formation of highly charged and unsaturated deprotiometallacyclobutadienes. C-H bond activation, including the activation of methane and the inspiration behind the Tebbe reagent will be briefly discussed. Next in the menu will include the science uncovered with a Ti^II fragment supported by a chelating phosphino-anilide ligand, thus granting us access to an arsenal of one-coordinate pnictides including its extension to Zr and V. In the final course on the menu, and if time permitted, I will also describe metal-ligand multiple bonds in the context of carbon capture and release by using one electron redox chemistry.

Daniel J. Mindiola obtained his BA from Michigan State University in 1996. After that, he did his graduate research under the direction of Prof. Christopher Cummins in MIT, and obtained the PhD degree in 2000. From 2000-2002, he was the postdoctoral Research Fellow in Prof. Gregory Hillhouse, University of Chicago. In 2002, he joined Indiana University and became the Assistant Professor there. He was promoted to the Associate Professor in 2007, and the full Professor in 2010. He accepted the invitation from University of Pennsylvania, moved to there and became the Presidential Chair Professor of Chemistry in 2013. From August 2018, he was the Brush Family Professor of Chemistry at University of Pennsylvania. He has received many awards, including ACS F. Albert Cotton Award in Synthetic Inorganic Chemistry in 2020.
