Advancing the chemistry of rare earths - an Australian resource

该项目旨在促进对高活性稀土金属有机化合物的合成、结构和反应性的了解。该项目预计将积累知识和技能，为澳大利亚仍未充分利用的稀土资源的许多开发提供基础，以摆脱中国的主导。预期的结果将是新的合成和反应化学，包括如何使用尺寸和电子因素来修饰和推进稀土化学的演示。该项目将提供显著的效益，如更好的稀土化学知识基础，以支持未来在化学制造、新材料、催化和回收方面的应用。

This project aims to advance knowledge of the synthesis, structures and reactivity of highly reactive rare earth metal-organic compounds. The project expects to build the knowledge and skills to underpin many developments of Australia's still under utilized rare earth resources to diversify from Chinese domination. The anticipated outcomes will be new synthetic and reaction chemistry including a demonstration of how size and electronic factors can be used to modify and advance rare earth chemistry. This project should provide significant benefit such as are a better knowledge base in rare earth chemistry to underpin future applications in chemical manufacturing, new materials, catalysis and recycling.
