Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
A series of transition metal mono- and bis (boryl) complexes containing Rh, Ir and Pt will be prepared and fully characterised. These will be used to examine the reactivity of the metal -boron bond with respect to: (1) B-B, B-H, B_X and B-C reductive elimination; and (2) insertion of a range of unsaturated organic substrates into the M-B bond. Factors affecting rated of beta-hydride-elimination subsequent to alkene insertion will be examined. High activity mono-phosphine platinum catalysts for alkyne and diene diboration will be developed. The scope and mechanism of alkene diboration using our new usual Rh (dppm) - containing catalyst precursor will be explored, and attempts will be made to develop chiral catalysts for the enetioselective diboration of unsaturated organic substrates.
