Discovery Projects - Grant ID: DP210101639

教主族化合物激活催化相关的键。该项目旨在产生新的、富含稀土的主族化合物，最终目标是开发这些化合物作为有毒/昂贵的后过渡金属络合物的可持续替代品，这些络合物目前是许多化学计量和催化合成转化的核心。该项目预计将利用创新的合成和计算方法以及一个多学科合作团队，在化学领域产生重大的基础和应用进展。预期成果包括建设学术和后来的工业研究能力、知识、国际研究网络和训练有素的劳动力。成功应该会给澳大利亚带来巨大的经济、环境和社会效益。

Teaching Main Group Compounds to Activate Catalytically Relevant Bonds. The project aims to generate novel, earth abundant main group compounds, with the ultimate objective of developing these as sustainable replacements for toxic/expensive late transition metal complexes, that are currently central to numerous stoichiometric and catalytic synthetic transformations. The project expects to generate major fundamental and applied advances in chemistry, using innovative synthetic and computational approaches, and a multidisciplinary collaborative team. Expected outcomes include building of academic and, later, industrial research capacity, knowledge, an international research network, and a highly trained workforce. Success should see substantial economic, environmental and societal benefits flowing to Australia.
