Novel hydride complexes for chemical applications

与元素周期表上的大多数其他元素相比，许多主族元素丰富、廉价、通常危害较小，有时甚至具有生物相容性。该项目将开发一系列重要的、定义明确的分子s-嵌段金属和非金属氢化物配合物，并研究它们的化学和性质。这些不发达但新兴的化合物类别在化学合成，储氢和催化方面具有重要意义。该项目的成果将有助于开发更环保、更可持续的技术。

Many main group elements are abundant, cheap, generally less harmful and sometimes even biocompatible compared with most other elements from the periodic table. This project will develop a range of fundamentally important well-defined molecular s-block metal and non-metal hydride complexes and investigate their chemistry and properties. These underdeveloped but emerging compound classes are of significant importance for chemical synthesis, hydrogen storage and catalysis. The results emerging from this project will contribute towards the development of greener and more sustainable technologies.
