Накратко на български
Неорганичните полимери, например такива с фосфор, се изследват чрез нови методи за свързване на елементи с помощта на катализатори. Това помага за разбирането на химичните процеси и създаването на материали с по-добра термоустойчивост и кристалинност при по-щадящи условия.

Stereoregular Inorganic Polymer Analogues of Polyolefins
Inorganic polymers contain elements other than carbon in the backbone and are promising as new materials with unique physical and chemical properties. Controlling stereoregularity within polymers can also have a drastic impact on the resulting material properties, and the range of potential applications. This project aimed to address the synthesis of stereoregular inorganic polymers using chiral transition metal catalysts for the dehydrocoupling reaction, where the resulting materials should be of interest for a range of applications especially those where polymer thermal properties and crystallinity are important. While the initial objective of the project was the generation of stereoregular inorganic polymers this proved to be hindered by the general lack of understanding of the mechanism of dehydrocoupling reaction. The major conclusions from the project were a much deeper understanding of the mechanisms for dehydrocoupling reactions used to generate inorganic polymers and small molecules through element-element bond formation. Several of the new routes to phosphorus-containing materials could be performed under more environmentally friendly or mild conditions compared to traditional routes, and avoid the use of expensive and scarce transition metal catalysts.

Цел на проекта
Inorganic polymers are of great interest as a result of their interesting properties, which offer exciting opportunities for their use as functional materials. Currently inorganic polymers generated through dehydrocoupling of group 13/15 amine- or phosphine-borane adducts are atactic and lack crystallinity, precluding their use in a variety of applications. The proposed research targets stereoregular polyaminoboranes and polyphosphinoboranes, inorganic analogues of stereoregular polyolefins, and potentially block copolymers, through catalytic dehydropolymerization using chiral earth abundant transition metal catalysts. The stereoregular polymers and block copolymers will be characterized in detail, and potential applications explored. To achieve these objectives a highly talented young scientist, Dr. Vincent Annibale, wishes to work in the highly multidisciplinary and internationally leading research group of Prof. Ian Manners at the University of Bristol for 2 years. Dr. Annibale has a wealth of expertise in synthetic transition metal chemistry from his previous postdoctoral and Ph.D. work. With a Marie Sklodowska Fellowship Dr. Annibale would gain exceptionally valuable experience and would become proficient in the field of polymer and materials science, which would be extremely important for his future career, preferably in academia, or in industry.
