Funded Activity Summary

Utilising nature's complexity - understanding fundamental organometallic binding modes of furans and coordination of bioderived furans. The earth's decreasing reserves of fossil fuels has prompted an intense push to utilise the renewable bioresources to replace the many products and fuels derived from petroleum. One of the promising developments is the production of so-called Furanics, useful molecules produced easily from carbohydrates found in waste materials from the sugar, corn and forestry industries. Given Australia's wealth of agricultural resources, discovering the full power of these potentially useful furanic compounds should be a major priority. This research aims to link Australia's biomass potential with the plastics, pharmaceutical, fine and agrichemical industries.
