| Abstract | In this CAREER project, Professor Yuyang Dong of the Department of Chemistry at Colorado State University is developing a series of square-planar base-metal complexes to understand how their electronic structures control catalytic performance. The goal of this research is to use these structure-reactivity relationships to guide the development of base-metal catalytic processes to reduce the reliance on rare and costly precious metals. By establishing these design principles, the project could le |
