New routes towards the activation of N2

以希洛夫在该领域的经典工作为基础，利用结构解析方面的最新进展(如基于同步加速器的PDF)来识别系统中的活跃相。然后，这些知识将被用于鉴定潜在的基于生物仿生的多相催化剂，用于氮气活化。因此，该项目将涉及紧密结合的合成、表征和催化活性评估。这项工作还将成为在氮气激活的一般领域内进行的更大研究工作的一个独特组成部分，该研究工作目前在研究小组内进行。

Building upon the classic work of Shilov in the area, using recent advances in structural elucidation (such as synchrotron based PDF) to identify the active phases in the system. This knowledge will then be adapted to the identification of potential biomimetically based heterogeneous catalysis for N2 activation. The project will therefore involve closely integrated synthesis, characterisation and catalytic activity evaluation. The work will also form a distinct component of a larger research effort conducted within the general area of N2 activation which is currently running within the research group.
