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

本项目的目的是开发一种新的高效的催化系统，以利用一氧化碳作为新兴工业的重要原料之一。开发中的新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配合物可能具有的独特反应活性。这种金属-金属键配合物有望表现出共同元素对有机底物中特定位点的增强反应性，这些反应性迫使分子中特定位点与过渡金属部分之间形成键。这个新概念已经被揭示是非常成功的，各种类型的新型催化反应，使一氧化碳的掺入已被发现。

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.
