Funded Activity Summary
Developing next generation click chemistry. This project aims to develop next generation click chemistry as an enabling synthetic technology for creating functional molecules. Click-philosophy, that 'all searches must be restricted to molecules that are easy to make', is a key requirement for rapid discovery of useful functional materials, medicines and molecular tools. Click linkers make this possible, and the project will develop a new range of asymmetric 3D-Connectors based upon readily available, yet unexplored main group gasses, and will demonstrate their usefulness in several applications including the synthesis of new polymers. The project will also develop the first general asymmetric Click reaction, which will have significant impact in biological applications and materials science. This project will result in the development of new synthetic chemistry technology that will have a global impact, which will add value to the knowledge economy of Australia and contribute skills and training to the next generation of Australian scientists.Funded Activity Details
