Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
One of the major challenges facing chemists and chemical engineers today is the development of clean, energy efficient processes. Inherent in this problem is the necessity to selectively form chemical bonds under environmentally benign conditions. We propose to develop catalysts which will mediate clean, atom efficient versions of a family of chemical reactions used in academic and industrial laboratories worldwide. These reactions currently produce two molecules of waste for every molecule of product generated. In contrast, the only waste product produced by the proposed catalytic chemistry is water. The proposed research will result in cleaner chemical reactions which will be widely used in academic and industrial laboratories and is fundamentally significant to the fields of catalysis and green chemistry.
