Low oxidation state metal complexes and their role in organic synthesis

Objectif



Organic compounds of metals (M) are of seminal importance, as reagents catalysts. The current most extensively studied are those in which M is one of the 14 lanthanides. Leaders include powerful USA and Japanese groups; in the EU, Lappert's group is prominent.
Despite serious efforts, oxidation states other than +3 for such compounds are restricted to +2 for Sm, Eu and Yb, and +4 for three Ce compounds; the former are valuable reducing agents (c.f. a recent Japanese monograph and an American review).
The project will make a timely contribution to one of the most competitive areas of organometallic chemistry. There are two major themes: (i) synthesis and structures of organic compounds of lanthanides in +1, +2 and +4 oxidation states, and (ii) their role as reagents and catalysts in organic chemical transformations. The results may have industrial significance as well as being of fundamental scientific importance.
