Funded Activity Summary

Polyanionic carbon ligands in metal complexes as new reagents in organometallic and inorganic chemistry. The proposed research will benefit Australia by creating a knowledge base in an internationally important area of chemistry. It addresses fundamental questions in organometallic chemistry that will be of great significance for chemical synthesis as well as for a greater understanding of structure and bonding. Through an integrated and interdisciplinary approach, the exploitation of technologies arising from this research programme will be explored. In addition to the academic community, these technologies will benefit hi-tech industries including pharmaceutical and fine chemical concerns which will gain from the use of polymetalated carbon species in organic and inorganic synthesis, catalysis and the development of new materials.
