个人简介
Along the route from Newcastle to York, I broadened my interests to encompass many aspects of the reaction mechanisms, photochemistry, spectroscopy and synthesis of organo-transition metal and metal hydride complexes. For instance, I have measured the rates of oxidative addition of H-H, C-H, B-H and S-H bonds at 4-coordinate Ru(0) centres and shown that oxidative addition of dihydrogen may occur with essentially no activation barrier. These studies required a combination of product investigation by solution NMR spectroscopy, nanosecond laser flash photolysis and matrix isolation. In recent work in this area, I have used photochemistry within the NMR probehead to observe manganese-propane complexes by NMR and am now developing laser pump-NMR probe methods with my colleague, Simon Duckett. Another major strand of my work has been the development of C-F bond activation at transition metals, culminating in new routes to metal fluoride complexes and fluoro-organics. One spin-off of this work has been the discovery that metal fluoride and metal hydride complexes can form halogen bonds to IC6F5. In turn, we have now been able to demonstrate that hydrogen bonds to neutral metal fluoride complexes are as strong as the strongest hydrogen bonds to organic acceptors. Throughout my work, I have collaborated with theorists to understand the wider implications of my experiments. Recent examples include comparisons of the selectivity for C-H versus C-F bond activation and the development of computational approaches to bond energy correlations. The theoretical predictions of the increase in metal carbon bond strength on ortho-fluorine substitution of a metal aryl have been vindicated by experiment.
