Highly Activated Low-Valent Main Group Compounds for the Selective Transformation of Inert Molecular Substrates
Abstract
The project aims to generate novel, highly activated, earth abundant main group compounds, with the ultimate objective of developing these as sustainable replacements for toxic/expensive late transition metal complexes, that are currently central to numerous stoichiometric and catalytic synthetic transformations. The project expects to generate major fundamental and applied advances in chemistry, using innovative synthetic and computational approaches, and a multidisciplinary collaborative team. Expected outcomes include building of academic and, later, industrial research capacity, knowledge, and a highly trained workforce. Success should see substantial economic, environmental and societal benefits, and the forging of links with AFOSR research laboratories.
