Creating nano-scale multimetallic cluster catalysts for novel chemical transformation

Research Project Outline

Aiming at environmentally benign reactions by catalysis of high efficiency and unique selectivity, this project is focused to create new nano-scale metal cluster catalysts comprised of more than two metal centers of non-expensive transition metals such as early transition metals and the first row transition metals. Such cluster catalysts are expected to assist new reactions with different chemical transformation from ordinal mononuclear catalysts of mainly noble metals, changing chemoselectivity, enhancing reaction rate, and so on.
