Catalysis in biphasic systems has, in the last years, a remarkable development and the use of enviromentally more bening solvents such
as water is now of considerable interest in greening synthetic chemistry. Water-soluble organometallic catalysts are so far the only
successful tools for implementing the idea of immobilising homogeneous catalysts with the aid of liquid supports. The main goal of the
project is to develop sistematic research of some water soluble transition metal complexes and their activity in aqueos-catalytic
hydrogenation and carbonylation reactions.
The objectives proposed to be achived are: a) design of some water soluble achiral or chiral ligands and evaluation of their electronic
and steric properties by molecular modelling; b) synthesis and characterization of water soluble mono- and poliphosphins and
heterotopic P/N ligands; c) synthesis and complex structural investigation of transitional metal complexes with the obtained tenside or
water soluble ligands. The new ligands and complexes will be tested in catalytic aqueos biphasic reactions. The cosolvent effect on the
selectivity and reactivity will be also studied.
