Yttrium amidate complexes : fundamental reactivity and applications in catalysis and polymerization
Rare-earth complexes are attractive catalyst systems due to their low cost, low toxicity and high reactivity. Modular ligand sets are ideal for complex formation since the steric and electronic properties of the resultant metal complexes can be easily varied. This thesis explores the structure and r...
