📋 Tender Overview
Reprogramming The Reactivity Of Main-Group Compounds For Capturing And Activating Methane And Dinitrogen
Innovative Molecular Engineering Approaches Lead To Unprecedented Main-Group Catalystscatalysis Is Critical To Almost All Chemical Reactions Of Socioeconomic Significance, Speeding The Rate Of Chemical Reactions To Make Production Feasible On Large Scales. Transition-Metal Catalysts Have Been The Workhorse Of Chemical Bond Activation For Decades. The Push For Greener And More Sustainable Chemistry Has Spawned New Catalysts Made From Abundant And Inexpensive Alternatives From So-Called Main Group Elements. The Eu-Funded B-Yond Project Will Develop Novel Molecular Engineering Strategies To Design Groundbreaking Main-Group Catalysts Based On Unprecedented Molecular Architectures. These Pioneering Catalysts Will Spur Innovation Related To Sustainable And Cost-Effective Chemical Processes.
