EPSRC : Thomas Kieran Redpath : EP/W522260/1Catalysis is an essential way to speed up chemical reactions and to decrease the energy demands of those reactions (e.g. by decreasing reaction temperatures). Most homogenous catalysis, where the starting materials and catalyst are in the solution phase together, in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries requires expensive, rare, and often toxic heavy transition metals such as palladium, platinum, iridium, and rhodium.Nickel is a cheap and abundant metal that can be used to achieve many of the same reactions that palladium and platinum can perform, allowing for more complex materials to be made with greater ease, at lower cost, and more sustainably. Currently, palladium (considered a rare and precious metal) is used to do this in molecules where the desired outcome is the coupling of carbon and phosphorous to form a new bond. Due to the similar reactivity of nickel and palladium in some circumstances, this is something that should be possible with nickel, but for which there are relatively few known examples. The aim of the project is to develop nickel-catalysed reactions that form bonds between carbon and phosphorus, using catalysts with nickel at the centre. The use of ligands, which are groups that attach to the metal catalyst, changes the properties and reactivity of the catalyst; our partners at Dalhousie University (Nova Scotia, Canada) are world experts in ligand design and development and will share their expertise to make our aims a reality. This will enable more cost-effective catalysis in the future for these kinds of chemical transformations.

EPSRC：托马斯基兰·雷德帕斯：EP/W522260/1催化是加速化学反应和降低这些反应的能量需求的基本方法（例如通过降低反应温度）。在制药和农业化学工业中，起始材料和催化剂一起处于溶液相中的大多数均相催化需要昂贵、稀有且通常有毒的重过渡金属，例如钯、铂、铱和铑。镍是廉价且丰富的金属，其可用于实现钯和铂可执行的许多相同反应，使得更复杂的材料可以更容易、更低成本和更可持续地制造。目前，钯（被认为是一种稀有和贵金属）被用于在分子中实现这一点，其中所需的结果是碳和磷的偶联以形成新的键。由于镍和钯在某些情况下具有类似的反应性，这对于镍来说应该是可能的，但已知的例子相对较少。该项目的目的是开发镍催化反应，使用以镍为中心的催化剂，在碳和磷之间形成键。配位体是一种与金属催化剂相连的基团，它的使用改变了催化剂的性质和反应性;我们在达尔豪西大学（加拿大新斯科舍省）的合作伙伴是配位体设计和开发方面的世界级专家，他们将分享他们的专业知识，使我们的目标成为现实。这将在未来为这类化学转化提供更具成本效益的催化剂。
