Research Research projects Magnesium and Calcium Hydride Catalysis / Low Oxidation State Aluminium Complexes / Main Group Radicals Think that aluminium chemistry is all about the +3 oxidation state? In the Hicks group we think not. Recently, a range of anionic Al(I) reagents, aka aluminyl anions, have been reported that remarkably show nucleophilic behaviour at Al. This project aims to investigate the reactivity of these highly reactive reagents. school Student intakeThis project is open for Honours and PhD students group Group Groups Hicks Group Synthesis label Research theme Research themes Catalysis Energy, Environment and Green Chemistry Inorganic Chemistry and Organometallic Chemistry traffic Project status Project status Current Contact contact_support Contact Contact name Dr. Jamie Hicks Contact email jamie.hicks@anu.edu.au Content navigation toc About Magnesium and Calcium Hydride Catalysis Low Oxidation State Aluminium Complexes: Reactivity and Small Molecule Activation Main Group Radicals: Synthesis, Characterisation and Reactivity (co-supervisor A/Prof. Nick Cox)
