| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This project aimed to develop new catalysts, new reactions and new functional materials superior or complementary to the existing ones. By using half-sandwich rare-earth catalysts, we have achieved for the first time the copolymerization of ethylene and polar alpha-olefins in a controlled fashion, which afforded new functional polyolefins with excellent self-healing and shape-memory properties. We have synthesized a series of chiral half-sandwich rare-earth alkyl complexes that show excellent enantioselectivity and activity in various transformations such as asymmetric C-H, N-H and Si-H alkylation via C=C insertion. By using molecular metal hydride clusters, we have achieved the activation and transformation of inactive small molecules and aromatic skeletons under mild conditions such as conversion of N2 to nitriles and hydrodenitrogenation of pyridine. This work has not only opened up new avenues in chemical science, but may also offer new entries into chemical industry innovation.
