This award in the Chemical Synthesis (SYN) program supports work by Professor T. Don Tilley at the University of California, Berkeley, to carry out fundamental studies on the search for new chemical transformations that are mediated by transition metal-main group element multiple bonds. In general, reactivity centered on multiple metal-ligand bonds is very important, and the chemistry of metal-silicon double bonds in silylene complexes is expected to lead to new, useful transformations. Chemical conversions mediated by silylene complexes have recently been found to promote the addition of hydrogen-silicon bonds to alkenes, and a range of related transformations seem likely. The fundamental principles established from these studies should be applicable to a range of problems in chemistry, materials science and catalysis. The basic research of this proposal should point the way to replacement of rare and expensive metals such as platinum and rhodium with less abundant metals such as iron and cobalt, in industrial catalytic processes. In general, new, more efficient chemical transformations will enable the more efficient use of energy and resources.

该化学合成 (SYN) 项目奖项支持加州大学伯克利分校 T. Don Tilley 教授的工作，以开展基础研究，寻找由过渡金属-主族元素多重键介导的新化学转化。一般来说，以多个金属-配体键为中心的反应性非常重要，并且亚硅基配合物中金属-硅双键的化学反应有望导致新的、有用的转化。最近发现，由硅烯配合物介导的化学转化可以促进氢-硅键向烯烃的加成，并且一系列相关的转化似乎是可能的。这些研究建立的基本原理应该适用于化学、材料科学和催化领域的一系列问题。该提案的基础研究应该指出在工业催化过程中用铁和钴等稀有金属替代铂和铑等稀有且昂贵的金属的方法。一般来说，新的、更高效的化学转化将能够更有效地利用能源和资源。
