Towards Nano-circuits: 2 and 3-Dimensional Carbon-Wired Nano-architectures

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Whilst Australia has a world-class profile in organotransition metal chemistry, main-group chemistry is under-represented, despite the enormous technological importance of materials based on these elements. In addition to the fundamental breakthrough science to be explored, the project will provide a training vehicle for 5 young scientists in both main group and organometallic chemistry. The target compounds involve an essentially unique marriage of the fields of main-group and transition metal chemistry to provide complex nano-architectures based on the modular interconnection of metals and non-metals by carbon wires at the molecular level - nanoscopic counterparts of macroscopic circuit components.
