The aim of this project is to unearth structural insights into the chemistry of coordinatively unsaturated metal complexes – reactive species lacking their full complement of binding groups – by isolating them within a carefully designed metal-organic framework and examining them via single crystal X-ray diffraction. Such intrinsically reactive species play an important role in metal-based catalysis, but their definitive structural characterisation remains a significant challenge. This project aims to facilitate a detailed understanding of how these species bind and activate substrates and thus provide important first steps towards developing novel adsorbents for separations and efficient catalysts.

该项目的目的是通过在精心设计的金属有机框架内将其分离并通过单晶X射线衍射对其进行检查，来挖掘对配位不饱和金属络合物化学的结构见解-缺乏完整的结合基团的反应性物种。这种固有的反应性物种在金属基催化中起着重要的作用，但它们的明确的结构表征仍然是一个重大的挑战。该项目旨在促进对这些物种如何结合和活化底物的详细了解，从而为开发用于分离的新型吸附剂和高效催化剂提供重要的第一步。
