The goal of a sustainable society requires the efficient use of renewable or sustainable materials and demands the development of selective new methodologies for the preparation of desirable products. In this context we require: (i) a change from traditional stoichiometric, high energy methods that produce huge amounts of chemical waste to mild and clean catalytic processes and (ii) a major step change in chemicals production with fossil fuels being replaced by renewable resources as chemical starter units.In this proposal we have identified a series of collaborative projects that would benefit from the mutual exchange of scientific expertise between St Andrews Chemistry homogeneous catalysis grouping and the Dutch CatchBio (Catalysis for Sustainable Chemicals from Biomass) consortium. This collaboration will allow new links within the EU to be established in order to deliver research excellence. These collaborative areas, combined with a series of international workshops and conferences linked to this proposal, we believe will allow for greater internationalisation and possible commercialisation of our research portfolio.The challenge to change our societies reliance for chemical production from fossil-fuel based to all-renewable resources is a challenge of enormous scale.This change must be broken down into smaller, manageable components capable of demonstrating the effectiveness of this strategy in order to showcase the transition necessary. In this proposal we will establish links with world leading experts to develop leading examples of this approach and have identified the following areas where we believe collaboration can impact. With added expertise from ourDutch partners we will: 1. Develop optimal catalysts for ether cleavage in 'real life samples' of lignin for maximising the potential of lignocellulose as a source of fuels and fine chemicals. The most successful catalyst systems developed will be immobilized and these heterogeneous systems fully explored and optimised through collaboration with the CatchBio consortium.2. Develop novel catalytic methods to convert renewable waste feedstocks such as Tall oil to important products such as fuels, chemicals and polymers.3. Harness the power of automated catalyst and library design to facilitate the preparation of catalyst libraries in both solution and solid state. The utility of this capability will be showcased through the use of CO2 as an abundant C1 building block in asymmetric chemical reduction processes.

可持续社会的目标要求有效利用可再生或可持续材料，并要求开发有选择的新方法来制备理想的产品。在这方面，我们需要：（i）改变传统的化学计量，产生大量化学废物的高能量方法到温和和清洁的催化过程，以及（ii）化学品生产的一个重大步骤变化，化石燃料被可再生资源取代，作为化学起始单元。在本提案中，我们确定了一系列合作项目，这些项目将受益于圣安德鲁斯化学公司之间的科学专业知识相互交流。均相催化集团和荷兰CatchBio（生物质可持续化学品催化）财团。这种合作将使欧盟内部建立新的联系，以提供卓越的研究。这些合作领域，再加上一系列与此提案相关的国际研讨会和会议，我们相信将使我们的研究组合更大程度地国际化和可能的商业化。改变我们社会对化学生产的依赖，从化石燃料转向全可再生资源，是一个巨大的挑战。这种变化必须分解为更小的，能够证明这一战略有效性的可管理的组成部分，以展示必要的过渡。在本提案中，我们将与世界领先的专家建立联系，以开发这种方法的领先范例，并确定了我们认为合作可以产生影响的以下领域。通过荷兰合作伙伴的专业知识，我们将：1.在木质素的“真实的生命样品”中开发最佳的醚裂解催化剂，以最大限度地发挥木质纤维素作为燃料和精细化学品来源的潜力。开发的最成功的催化剂系统将被固定化，这些多相系统将通过与CatchBio财团的合作得到充分的探索和优化。开发新的催化方法，将妥尔油等可再生废物原料转化为燃料、化学品和聚合物等重要产品。3.增强自动化催化剂和库设计的能力，以促进溶液和固态催化剂库的制备。这种能力的效用将通过使用CO2作为不对称化学还原过程中丰富的C1结构单元来展示。
