Boron and silicon based pincer ligands for environmentally responsible catalysis [ 2011 - 2014 ]

Research Grant

Researchers Hill Prof Anthony F; Prof Barbara A Messerle

Brief description The production of everyday chemicals (pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, polymers) comes at a price, economic and environmental. Metal catalysts significantly reduce the environmental impact of both the associated energy requirements and waste products. New classes of catalysts will be developed based on the unconventional elements boron and silicon.
