New Look N-Heterocyclic Metallocenes of the Lanthanides Based on 4-Azapentalenyl Anions

基于4-氮杂戊烯阴离子的新型稀土元素N-杂环茂金属化合物。由于澳大利亚拥有丰富的但仍在开发利用的稀土矿物储量，将其化学开发成工业催化的商业应用符合澳大利亚的最佳利益。该项目通过对精心选择的有机稀土化合物(特别是包括杂化取代的茂金属化合物)的详细研究来解决这一问题。研究战略将致力于促进我们对基础化学过程的了解，这些基本化学过程与从经常未得到充分利用的石油工业废物库存中生产重要商品化学品和聚合物的工业直接相关。

New Look N-Heterocyclic Metallocenes of the Lanthanides Based on 4-Azapentalenyl Anions. Since there are abundant, but under utilised, reserves of lanthanide minerals in Australia, it is in Australia's best interest that their chemistry is developed into commercial applications in industrial catalysis. This project addresses this situation through the detailed study of carefully chosen organolanthanide compounds (specifically, comprising hetero-substituted metallocenes). The research strategy will be directed towards advancing our knowledge in relation to fundamental chemical processes that are directly relevant to the industrial production of important commodity chemicals and polymers from often under utilised petroleum industry waste stocks.
