Funded Activity Summary
Reactive metal-organics embracing the rare earth and alkaline earth metals. This project aims to study the structure and reactions of highly reactive rare earth/lanthanoid and heavy alkaline earth (calcium, strontium, barium) organometallic and metal–organic compounds. The target systems include pseudo-Grignard reagents Ln(Ae)R(X) including the rare fluorides, intermediates from use of lanthanoid reagents in organic synthesis, compounds in unusual high oxidation states, complexes primed for carbon–fluorine activation, and Ln(Ae)/Al bimetallics as isoprene polymerisation catalysts. Abundant rare earth resources position Australia to be a major supplier of these strategic elements. The project aims to develop the knowledge base and expertise needed to underpin the use of Australia's abundant rare earth and calcium resources in chemical manufacture, catalysis and recycling.Funded Activity Details
