CRC 858 A08 - Cooperative Reactivity of Metal Atoms in Polynuclear Transition Metal Polyhydrides (SFB 858)
Basic data for this project
Type of project: Subproject in DFG-joint project hosted at University of Münster
Duration at the University of Münster: 01/01/2010 - 31/12/2013 | 1st Funding period
Description
The main objective of project A8 is to analyze the cooperative reactivity of novel ruthenium hydride complexes. New oligonuclear compounds are designed which are able to perform unusual C-H and C-C activations. In addition, the new complexes are of interest as hydrogenation catalysts. A further objective of our project is to explore the effects of metal-ligand-cooperativity in catalytic reactions such as the dehydrogenative synthesis of organic amides. Cooperative effects will be analyzed by comparison with suitable reference compounds and through quantum chemical studies which are performed in close collaboration with the group of Prof. Stefan Grimme.
