Bifunctional dehydrocoupling of inorganic substrates: Scope and mechanism

• Applicant: Professor Dr. Sven Schneider
• Subject Area: Inorganic Molecular Chemistry - Synthesis and Characterisation
• Term: from 2011 to 2015
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 206445449

The mechanism of PNP ruthenium catalysed borane-amine dehydrocoupling will be probed by means of kinetics and stereoselective polyaminoborane synthesis with the goal to establish synthetic pathways towards novel inorganic polymers. These materials will be examined for potential applications in enantioselective hydrogenation of prochiral organic functional groups with polar multiple bonds and the synthesis of ternary III/V semiconductor materials with tailored band gaps.
