Funded Activity Summary
Heterometallic iron-molybdenum complexes for nitrogen activation. This project aims to develop a range of bio-inspired, mixed metal iron-molybdenum complexes that are capable of activating molecular nitrogen, N2, at ambient pressure and temperature. The activation of atmospheric N2 is performed on a multi-million tonne scale each year and is key to a number of industrial processes. The project expects to generate new knowledge in the area of organometallic chemistry, specifically with regards to molecular metal-metal bonding and subsequent reactivity towards the activation of N2. Expected outcomes include new and improved catalysts, which will provide significant financial benefits to industry, as well as benefiting the environment by reducing energy demand.Funded Activity Details
