Catalysis, the acceleration of chemical transformation, is the key to realising environmentally friendly and economical processes for the conversion of both conventional (fossil) and alternative (e.g. biomass and carbon dioxide) chemical feedstocks. Catalysts act by reducing the energy required for a reaction to proceed and will, thus, occupy a key role in the world's energy future. Many of the most useful soluble and solid catalysts incorporate precious metals such as rhodium, palladium, platinum and ruthenium. These metals are expensive and their supply is limited. There is, therefore, a need for the development of non-precious-metal catalysts as replacements. This project proposal seeks funding for a joint synthetic/computational study of the emerging area of the application of environmentally benign and non-toxic Group 2 complexes in homogeneous catalysis. Using chemistry that has been developed in the applicants' own laboratories as a starting point, we shall seek to develop the range of available and easily synthesised alkyl and hydride reagents. Tandem experimental and theoretical studies will be employed to interrogate the factors which dictate the reaction chemistry of these superficially simple but understudied derivatives and will apply this knowledge to the development of ever more ambitious catalytic schemes. To this end we shall challenge one of the most pressing chemical scientific challenges of the early 21st Century, viz the low energy transformation of bulk resources with minimum cost in terms of energy and environmental impact.

催化作用是加速化学转化，是实现传统（化石）和替代（例如生物质和二氧化碳）化学原料转化的环保且经济的过程的关键。催化剂的作用是减少反应进行所需的能量，因此将在世界能源的未来中发挥关键作用。许多最有用的可溶性固体催化剂都含有贵金属，例如铑、钯、铂和钌。这些金属价格昂贵，而且供应有限。因此，需要开发非贵金属催化剂作为替代品。该项目提案寻求资助对环境友好且无毒的第 2 族配合物在均相催化中的应用这一新兴领域进行联合合成/计算研究。以申请人自己的实验室开发的化学为起点，我们将寻求开发一系列可用且易于合成的烷基和氢化物试剂。串联实验和理论研究将用于探究决定这些表面简单但尚未充分研究的衍生物的反应化学的因素，并将这些知识应用于开发更加雄心勃勃的催化方案。为此，我们将挑战21世纪初最紧迫的化学科学挑战之一，即在能源和环境影响方面以最低成本对大宗资源进行低能量转化。
