Novel Pincer complexes for catalysis
ApplyProject Description
The student will work on the design and synthesis of 2-amino-pyridine based pincer ligands (3-10 steps) and the preparation of their corresponding transition metal complexes. Students will trained on standard organic synthesis knowledge and Schlenk skills. For more information see:https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acscatal.8b04495
