Modern Low Oxidation State/Low Coordination Main Group Chemistry: A New Domain for Australian Science

拟议的研究将通过在国际重要的化学领域建立知识库而使澳大利亚受益。 这将有助于该领域的一位国际领导人返回澳大利亚。通过综合和跨学科的方法，将探索从研究计划中产生的技术的利用。除了学术界，这些技术将有利于高科技产业，包括制药和精细化学品的关注，这将受益于使用拟议的第13族杂环在有机合成。此外，在催化过程或光电聚合物中依赖于聚合物载体的工业将受益于衍生自磷炔的各种聚合物。

The proposed research will benefit Australia by creating a knowledge base in an internationally important area of chemistry. This will be aided by the return to Australia of an international leader in the field. Through an integrated and interdisciplinary approach, the exploitation of technologies arising from the research program will be explored. In addition to the academic community, these technologies will benefit hi-tech industries including pharmaceutical and fine chemicals concerns which will gain from the use of the proposed group 13 heterocycles in organic synthesis. Moreover, industries reliant on polymer supports in catalytic process or opto-electronic polymers will profit from the various polymers derived from phosphaalkynes.
