Advancing the Metal-Organic Chemistry of the Heavy Alkaline Earth Elements

该项目将开辟澳大利亚金属化学研究的新领域，从澳大利亚现有的大量碱土金属矿产资源的开采中获得高附加值产品。在高活性化学工具的设计和操作方面，国际公认的专业知识将为不断增长的制药、精细化学品和智能材料行业贡献突破性的科学和创新，并有可能为新成立的澳大利亚公司在新产品开发方面提供竞争优势。学生将接受必要技能的培训，以取得成功并扩大这种对技术要求很高的金属化学领域。

The project will open up a new area in Australian metal based chemical research, deriving high value added products from the already existing exploitation of Australia's substantial alkaline earth metal mineral resources. Internationally recognised expertise in the design and manipulation of highly reactive chemical tools will contribute breakthrough science and innovation to the growing pharmaceutical, fine chemicals and smart materials industry, with the potential to provide nascent and established Australian companies a competitive edge in new product development. Students will be trained in the necessary skills to succeed in and expand such technically demanding area of metal based chemistry.
