Funded Activity Summary

Understanding and Harnessing the Unique and Curious Metal Boron Bond: Unlocking the Metallaboratrane Cage. Metal-boron bonding holds enormous technological importance due to the emergence of boron-based metal-mediated synthetic transformations that access a diversity of high value-added fine chemicals. Whilst Australia boasts an emergent boron-based fine chemicals industry, no research program into the nature of metal boron bonding exists to provide either fundamental science or advanced training in organometallic boron chemistry. The proposed work offers two distinct national benefits: The maintenance of a discipline in which Australia leads the world (metallaboratranes) and the genesis of one, which whilst intensely studied elsewhere, is notably absent from the Australian science base (low coordinate, unsaturated boron chemistry).
