Catalysis with Main Group Substrates<\/span><\/h1>\n

The development of catalytic reactions has revolutionised the synthesis of organic molecules and polymers. In contrast, catalysis is virtually unexplored as a route to molecular and macromolecular inorganic materials. Over the past decade our group has been at the forefront of the development of catalytic reactions with main group substrates. In particular, we have been involved in a broad expansion of this field in the area of dehydrogenation and dehydrocoupling processes that allow access to a wide range of catenated structures based on elements across the p-block. Such catalytic pathways using main group substrates represent an increasingly attractive and convenient alternative to traditional routes such as salt metathesis and reductive coupling reactions. Applications of this work involve the fields of hydrogen storage and transfer, functional inorganic polymers, and ceramic thin films.<\/span><\/p>\n
