Use of strong donor ligands in amino-borane and metallocenophane chemistry

拟议的研究将涉及使用强供体配体来稳定反应性主基单体，这应该使固态结构bedetermined调查。研究还将集中在卡宾的潜在用途，以启动环滑移的n3配体从n5在“phane”化学和reversibilityof这种反应性，如果成功的。本文的工作与含主族金属聚合物的制备有关。

The proposed research will involve an investigation of the use of strong donor ligands tostabilise reactive main group monomers, which should enable solid-state structures to bedetermined. Research will also focus on the potential use of carbenes to initiate ringslippage of the cyclopentadienyl ligand from n5 to n3 in 'phane' chemistry and the reversibilityof this reactivity if successful. The work is relevant to the preparation of main group andmetal-containing polymers.
