Group 13 Mixed Halide-Hydride and Rare Earth Complexes - New Selective Chiral Hydridic or Low Valent Reducing Agents

该项目将对金属氢化物化学的两个领域做出里程碑式的贡献。这两项研究将利用和开发传统上从这些海岸开采和出口的金属，同时以极高的成本作为附加值产品进口。这项研究将确定连锁应用，以遏制这种财务偏见。稀土(=Ln)氢化物的新途径将具有广泛的工业吸引力，特别是对于新材料，如类似的第13族材料，它们可能用于沉积Ln薄膜，甚至作为超导固体的前驱体。预计行业合作将随之而来。澳大利亚将被提升为前沿技术的开发者和创新者。

This project will make a landmark contribution to two areas of metallohydride chemistry. Both studies will utilise and develop metals that have traditionally been mined and exported from these shores while concurrently imported as value added products at vastly inflated cost. This research will identify knock-on applications in order to stem this financial bias. The new paths to rare earth (= Ln) hydrides will have broad industrial appeal, particularly for new materials, where, like similar group 13 materials, they may be used in the deposition of Ln films or even as precursors to superconducting solids. It is anticipated industrial collaboration will ensue. Australia will be promoted as a developer and innovator of frontier technologies.
