Transition metal complexes have found use in a wide variety of applications ranging from light-emitting devices to biological imaging and solar catalysis. However, these materials commonly contain precious metals such as platinum, ruthenium and iridium which are not only expensive but are some of the rarest elements found on Earth. This project will develop new transformative photo-active molecules containing the cheap, Earth-abundant element chromium. These materials will ultimately be used to catalyse useful organic reactions driven only by solar energy, thereby making substantial contributions to the development of inexpensive and environmentally friendly chemical synthesis.

过渡金属配合物已广泛应用于从发光器件到生物成像和太阳能催化等领域。然而，这些材料通常含有铂、钌和铱等贵金属，这些金属不仅价格昂贵，而且是地球上发现的一些最稀有的元素。该项目将开发新的变革性光活性分子，其中含有地球上丰富的廉价元素铬。这些材料最终将用于催化仅由太阳能驱动的有用有机反应，从而为廉价且环境友好的化学合成的发展做出重大贡献。
