New vistas in porphyrin chemistry via metal-catalyzed couplings with hydrazine derivatives

该项目将解决基本的科学问题，并开发用于分子电子学和癌症治疗的新物质。我们将制造和研究从卟啉衍生的全新分子，卟啉在自然界中在光合作用，氧运输和酶催化中起着重要作用。这项突破性的研究将揭示对基础化学科学进步至关重要的知识，并为澳大利亚年轻科学家提供尖端研究的优秀培训。此外，卟啉类物质用于癌症诊断和治疗，并具有下一代纳米电子器件所必需的特性，该项目旨在实现这些最终成果。

This project will address basic scientific questions and develop new substances for use in molecular electronics and cancer therapy. We will make and study entirely new molecules derived from porphyrins, which in Nature have vital roles in photosynthesis, oxygen transport and enzyme catalysis. This breakthrough research will reveal knowledge vital to the advancement of fundamental chemical science and also offer excellent training in cutting edge research for young Australian scientists. In addition, porphyrin-like substances are used in cancer diagnosis and treatment and have properties essential for the next generation of nanoelectronic devices, and this project is aimed at these eventual outcomes.
