Mechanistic Studies of Reactions Catalyzed by Bi- and Trimetallic Complexes (B10*)

这个3MET项目旨在发现由多金属均相催化剂协同作用诱导的新反应。它调查已证实涉及双金属过渡金属配合物的反应。它将重点放在具有特殊氧化态金属中心的双金属配合物上，例如Pd(I)和Rh（II）。它建立了金属核和桥接配体体系的结构-活性关系，每当双金属物种的独特反应性出现时。它使用化学计量实验和催化筛选结合DFT调查和动力学研究。合理地将催化活性异常的多金属加合物转化为具有高耐久性和高活性的实用催化剂。

This 3MET project aims to discover new reactivities induced by the cooperative action of multimetallic homogeneous catalysts. It investigates reactions that were confirmed to involve bimetallic transition metal complexes. It sets a focus on bimetallic complexes with metal centers in unusual oxidation states, e.g. Pd(I) and Rh(II). It establishes structure-activity relationships for metallic cores and bridging ligand systems whenever unique reactivity of the bimetallic species arises. It uses stoichiometric experiments and catalytic screening in combination with DFT investigations and kinetic studies. It rationally turns multimetallic adducts with unusual catalytic reactivity into practical catalysts with high durability and activity.
