Copper (Cu) complexes of poly-amine ligands have emerged as extremely active homogeneous catalysts in atom transfer radical reactions, forming organic radicals from alkyl halide precursors, and they are now employed extensively in polymer and organic chemistry. The catalyst cycles between its Cu(I) and Cu(II) oxidation states reversibly yet both forms are susceptible to side reactions, particularly with solvents which can lead to loss of catalytic activity. This project aims to apply a multifaceted approach to interrogate the catalysts in both their Cu(I) and Cu(II) oxidation states and identify for the first time the pathways that lead to undesirable side reactions and provide new ways of optimising catalyst performance.

在原子转移自由基反应中，多胺类配体的铜(铜)络合物是一种活性极高的均相催化剂，可由卤代烷为前驱体生成有机自由基，在聚合物和有机化学中有着广泛的应用。其铜(I)和铜(II)氧化态之间的催化剂循环是可逆的，但这两种形式都容易发生副反应，特别是与溶剂反应，可能导致催化活性丧失。该项目旨在应用多方面的方法来询问处于铜(I)和铜(II)氧化态的催化剂，并首次确定导致不良副反应的途径，并提供优化催化剂性能的新方法。
