Funded Activity Summary
A new Iron Age! Making Iron complexes fit for C-C cross-coupling catalysis. This project aims to develop new iron catalysts as alternatives to the expensive and increasingly rare noble metals currently used in C-C bond forming reactions, the most important single-step in the fine-chemicals sector. This project expects to create a flexible yet robust framework by introducing a hemilabile ligand into the backbone of the iron complex to control the number of vacant coordination sites. Expected outcomes of this project are 1) iron complexes able to catalyse biaryl couplings from sustainable substrates and 2) knowledge on structure-property relationships of iron-based catalytic processes. Australia will benefit by applying its own resources and help preserving the valuable noble metals for processes relying on them.Funded Activity Details
