Modern chemical synthetic methods using organometallic catalysts are highly prized in chemical industry and provide a multibillion dollar driver for world economies. However, traditional catalysis is expensive because of the reliance on rare earth metals often conjunction with toxic additives or reagents. The aim of this work is to develop new inexpensive transition metal catalysts based on earth abundant nickel and harness the power of electrons through electrochemistry to dramatically improve the reactivity of these catalysts. This project will seek to improve the way both complex and commonly used chemicals constructed through an atom economical process with potentially renewably produced electrons.

使用有机金属催化剂的现代化学合成方法在化学工业中受到高度重视，并为世界经济提供了数十亿美元的推动力。然而，传统的催化是昂贵的，因为依赖稀土金属，往往与有毒的添加剂或试剂。本研究的目的是开发一种新的廉价的过渡金属催化剂，以含镍丰富的地球为基础，并通过电化学利用电子的力量来显著提高这些催化剂的反应性。该项目将寻求通过原子经济过程，利用潜在的可再生电子来改善复杂和常用化学品的构建方式。
