Synthesis and applications of polymerizable building-block heterocycles and their metal complexes

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The research described in this proposal concerns the synthesis of novel heterocyclic structures that will ultimately be used for the development of new polymer materials. Electropolymerizable structures involving bithiazole and biimidazole cores will be used for the synthesis of polymerizable metal complexes. The helical arrangement of organic molecules around the metal center in these complexes will endow them with interesting optical, catalytic, and sensory properties. The untapped potential for these structures to act as "chiral catalysts" in electrochemical hydrogenation experiments is something that needs to be explored.
