Developing Dimetal Paddlewheel Complexes For Catalytic Applications, Margaret E. Napier

Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)

Although there are countless examples of rhodium-catalyzed organic reactions in the chemical literature, the field continues to develop at a steady pace, as focus shifts taking advantage of economy of resources while maintaining efficiency of the catalytic reactions. The work presented is separated into three chapters, with each describing a specific approach to the development of new materials which can provide either a direct economy of resources and reagents or can be used for heterogenization of catalytic systems.
