Funded Activity Summary

Low-Valent p-Block Compounds: Taking on Noble Roles in Catalysis. In this project, innovative approaches will be employed to access new, and fundamentally important, classes of low oxidation state main group compounds, the electronic properties and reactivity of which will be readily tuned to mimic those of noble transition metal complexes. The project aims to harness these attributes, for the first time, to establish such compounds as cheap and sustainable alternatives to the expensive and toxic transition metal catalysts that are currently essential to numerous synthetic processes utilised in academia and industry. The involvement of a synergistic international network of collaborators will be central to the success of this project, which offers major academic, environmental and economic benefits to Australia.
