New Challenges in Metal Homogeneous Catalysis - HOMCAT

Reference of the Group:

GIUV2019-460

 
Description of research activity:

The aim of this research group is to develop catalysts for the transformation of low-functional substrates into products of industrial interest by means of homogeneous catalysis. The preferred substrates are hydrocarbons and other compounds with high chemical inertness such as nitrogen or carbon dioxide. For catalysts, metal complexes of elements of the first transition series will be used.

Scientific-technical goals:
  • Preparation of new organic ligands for the formation of metal complexes based on metals of the first transition series.
  • Study of its reactivity in valorization reactions of poorly functionalized substrates with high chemical inertness under homogeneous conditions.
 
Research lines:
  • Functionalization of non activated alkanes.Development of catalysts for the conversion of unactivated alkanes into industrially valuable products.
