Development of Concerto Molecular Catalysts for Practical Catalysis

基于金属-配体协同效应的新型双功能分子催化剂，使我们能够成功地开发出传统均相催化剂难以加氢的极性官能团的高效不对称加氢反应、以O2为氢受体的醇的有氧氧化反应、不对称C-N键和C-C键形成反应。在单核配合物体系中建立的双官能度概念可以应用于双核金属双官能度体系。

Thanks to conceptually new bifunctional molecular catalysts based on Metal-ligand cooperating effect, we could successfully develop highly efficient asymmetric hydrogenation of polar functionalities which cannot easily hydrogenated by conventional homogeneous catalysts, aerobic oxidation of alcohols in which O2 serves as an excellent hydrogen acceptor, asymmetric C-N and C-C bond forming reactions. The concept of bifunctionality established in the mononuclear complex systems could be applied to bifunctional binuclear metal systems.
