Multinuclear d-block metal complexes for catalysis of multi-electron redox reactions (B08*)

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This 3MET project synthesizes, characterizes, and spectroscopically investigates multinuclear d-block metal complexes with macrocyclic complexes as well as catalytic multielectron transfer reactions. It seeks to achieve functional cooperativity by µ4-oxido copper clusters ([Cu4OCl6L4], L = ligand) which couple to Fe(III) porphyrin complexes. It focusses on their catalytic oxidation and selective hydroxylation reactions. The project sees a necessity to correlate the structural features and ligand effects with electronic properties in order to gain a deeper understanding of the cooperative effects which arise from the coupling of the metal centers.
