Project description
 

The project describes the synthesis and use of platinum and more Earth-abundant metals (Co and Mn) in the hydrosilylation of alkenes and alkynes. Synthetic approaches will focus on the development of more stable catalysts. The catalysts will be decorated with ligands that will permit their use in processes making us eof nanofiltration for catalyst/substrate/product seperation.
