New catalytic routes towards CO2-derived polymer materials

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The project aims to develop and understand novel organometallic catalysts to make sustainable materials from CO2, providing an exciting opportunity to establish a new area of research. You will be provided with high-level training across a wide range of areas including:Air-sensitive organometallic synthesis and characterisation (including the use of Schlenk techniques, gloveboxes and NMR spectroscopy)Polymer synthesis and characterisation (high pressure autoclaves, GPC, mass spectrometry)Mechanistic understanding for targeted catalyst development
