Novel three-dimensional metal siloxide materials from silanol, silanediol and silanetriol building blocks

Objective



My main aim is to make new compounds and materials in a topically important area of chemistry - metallasiloxanes and molecular surface mimics. I shall investigate the synthesis and use of both new silanols, and bulky silanols already prepared by Dr Lickiss' group, to make large metallasiloxane molecular frameworks, and smaller metallasiloxanes that are similar to surface active species on silica. There will, therefore, be two closely related strands to the work which will require two years work The new species prepared will be fully characterised and their potential as catalysts investigated. This will allow comparisons to be made with bulk surface species and more efficient syntheses of more reactive and structurally useful materials.
(2) Training:
I wish to broaden my research experience by working in a new and potentially useful field, and to learn new techniques and methods in a major department abroad.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.
