Thesis
Alkaline earth- and rare earth-transition metal complexes
- Abstract:
-
This Thesis describes the synthesis and characterisation of new alkaline earth- and rare earth-transition metal complexes. Experimental and computational studies were performed to investigate the structure and bonding in these complexes. Their reactivity was also studied.
Chapter 1 introduces metal-metal bonded complexes and current alkaline earth- and rare earth-transition metal bonded complexes.
Chapter 2 describes experimental and computational studies of new alkaline earth- and lanthanide-Fe complexes possessing the [CpFe(CO)2]- anion.
Chapter 3 presents experimental studies of the reduction of Fe3(CO)12 with Ca.
Chapter 4 describes experimental and computational studies of new alkaline earth- and lanthanide-Co complexes containing the [Co(CO)3(PR3)]- anion.
Chapter 5 presents full experimental procedures and characterising data for the new complexes reported.
Appendix describes the attempted synthesis of [Ca{CpRu(CO)2}2(THF)x]y and study by DFT of [CaRp2(THF)3]2
CD Appendix contains .cif files for all new crystallographically characterised complexes described.
