Funded Activity Summary

Metal Complexes for Activation and Scission of Small, Multiply-Bonded Molecules. The immediate outcome of this work is a series of metal complexes capable of selectively cleaving the strong bonds present in a number of small molecules of chemical importance. This will have a significant impact on industry by providing cheaper and safer alternatives to currently expensive and hazardous processes for producing nitrogen and phosphorus containing compounds esential to the chemical and agricultural industries. It will also greatly benefit the chemical community by providing novel routes to constructing metal complexes with unusual and exotic ligands. These outcomes will lead to new consumer products and potential downstream applications such as nitric oxide/nitrogen dioxide converters and carbon dioxide emission controls.
