We will develop new silicon(II) chemistry for the direct synthesis of organonitrogen compounds from N2 using highly reactive 'masked' silylenes.The project exploits the applicant's expertise in small-molecule activation and builds on recent advances in silicon(II) chemistry made by the host researcher. Organonitrogen compounds are used as fertilisers, drugs, dyes, and polymers. Their direct preparation from N2 would save energy and reduce waste.Work so far has focused on transition-metal chemistry, but in this project we will harness the chemistry of silicon - which is cheap and extremely abundant - to tackle this task. The proposed project will use synthetic chemistry to produce reactive Si(II) compounds that can coordinate and activate N2. In so doing, we will develop new catalytically relevant processes for preparing organonitrogen compounds from N2.The fellow will gain required skills for a successful independent research career, and will be trained in techniques including computational chemistry and NMR. The researcher will transfer expertise in electrochemistry to the host.

我们将开发新的硅(II)化学，用于使用高活性的“掩蔽”硅烷从氮气直接合成有机氮化合物。该项目利用申请人在小分子激活方面的专业知识，并建立在东道主研究人员在硅(II)化学方面的最新进展的基础上。有机氮化合物可用作化肥、药物、染料和聚合物。直接从氮气中制备它们将节省能源和减少浪费。到目前为止，工作的重点是过渡金属化学，但在这个项目中，我们将利用硅的化学--这种化学既便宜又极其丰富--来解决这一任务。拟议的项目将使用合成化学来生产能够配位和激活氮气的活性硅(II)化合物。通过这样做，我们将开发新的催化相关工艺，从氮气中制备有机氮化合物。该研究员将获得成功的独立研究生涯所需的技能，并将接受包括计算化学和核磁共振在内的技术培训。研究人员将把电化学方面的专业知识转移给东道主。
