研究领域

Synthetic Organometallic Chemistry The Organometallic Chemistry of Coordinated Dinitrogen - nitrogen fixation. Chemical transformation of dinitrogen coordinated to metal centres. Nitrogen fixation and nitrogen reduction at metal centres. Developing reagents and catalysts (based on iron, molybdenum, tungsten and ruthenium) for converting molecular N2 into NH3 and nitrogen-containing organic compounds. Synthesising new organometallic compounds that bind and activate nitrogen. The chemistry of metal nitrynes and metal nitrenes. The Organometallic Chemistry of Carbon Dioxide - The catalytic incorporation of CO2 into organic molecules via C-H activation and functionalisation and utilising this normally wasted (and potentially environmentally dangerous) byproduct as a valuable C1 source. Transition Metal Acetylides, Organometallic Polymers and New Materials - Dimeric, oligomeric and polymeric assemblies containing transition metal atoms covalently bonded within a conjugated an organic framework. Optical, electrochemical, electronic, spectroscopic properties of highly conjugated polymetal-acetylides. New approaches to the synthesis of metal acetylides and rearrangements and transformations of transition metal acetylides. The Chemistry of 'CP3' Complexes - Recently developed a new of a polydentate ligand for transition metal chemistry, which binds to a metal centre using three phosphorus donors and an anionic carbon donor. The Organometallic Chemistry of Silanes and Silylenes - Suitably activated transition metal complexes react with organosilanes and other silanes to form silicon metal hydrides which can go onto to form reactive metals silylenes Metal Complexes of Molecular Hydrogen - Iron and ruthenium hydride complexes can be protonated to give metal complexes containing bound molecular hydrogen which can be used as a synthetic tool to other metal complexes
