Funded Activity Summary

Cyclophane Carbene Complexes as Catalysts: An Integrated Synthetic, Structural, and Mechanistic Approach. Metal-carbene complexes are emerging as efficient catalysts for chemical processes of immense importance to the pharmaceutical and fine chemicals industries. This project will build on the recent discovery of a family of complexes that exhibits the highest activity yet reported for metal-carbene catalysts in carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions. Insights into the ways the new catalysts work will be gained through a combination of synthetic, mechanistic, and structural studies. This detailed investigation of structure/reactivity relationships will provide an understanding of why these catalyst are so efficient and hence give synthetic leads for the development of superior new catalysts suitable for industrial application.
