Development of New Complex Catalyst System for the Utilization of Carbon Monoxide

本项目的目的是开发新型高效催化剂体系，用于利用新兴工业最重要的原料之一氧化碳，开发新型催化剂的基本设计是基于具有共同元素和过渡金属键的金属络合物可能具有的独特反应性。这种金属-金属键合的络合物预期表现出共同元素对有机基质中特定位点的增强的反应性，这迫使分子中特定位点与过渡金属部分之间形成键。这种新的概念已经被证明是非常成功的，并且已经发现了能够引入一氧化碳的各种类型的新型催化反应。

The purpose of this project has been to develop the new and efficient catalytic system for the utilization of carbon monoxide that is the one of the most important raw material of the comming industry.The basic design of the developing new catalyst is based on the possible unique reactivity of metal complexes having a common element and transition metal bond. Such metal-metal bonded complexes has been expected to exibit the enhanced reactivity of the common element toward specific sites in the organic substrates, these forcing the bond formation between the specific sites in the molecule with the transition metal moiety. This new concept has been revealed to be very much successful and various type of novel catalytic reactions that enables incorporation of carbon monoxide has been found.
