Advancing the Metal-Organic Chemistry of the Heavy Alkaline Earth Elements

该项目将为澳大利亚以金属为基础的化学研究开辟一个新的领域，从澳大利亚丰富的碱土金属矿产资源中获得高附加值的产品。在高反应性化学工具的设计和操作方面，国际公认的专业知识将为不断发展的制药、精细化学品和智能材料行业贡献突破性的科学和创新，并有可能为新兴和成熟的澳大利亚公司提供新产品开发的竞争优势。学生将接受必要的技能培训，以在金属基化学这一技术要求很高的领域取得成功。

The project will open up a new area in Australian metal based chemical research, deriving high value added products from the already existing exploitation of Australia's substantial alkaline earth metal mineral resources. Internationally recognised expertise in the design and manipulation of highly reactive chemical tools will contribute breakthrough science and innovation to the growing pharmaceutical, fine chemicals and smart materials industry, with the potential to provide nascent and established Australian companies a competitive edge in new product development. Students will be trained in the necessary skills to succeed in and expand such technically demanding area of metal based chemistry.
