New developments in main group chemistry for application in modern battery technology
… trend towards π bonding increasing on descending group 1. Here we review known alkali metal structures of diphenylmethane, fluorene, 2-benzylpyridine and 4-benzylpyridine. Next, we synthesise Li, Na, K monomers of these diarylmethyls using polydentate donors PMDETA or Me6TREN to remove competing …

Main Group Hydrogen-Bond Donors and Pyridyl Ligands for Supramolecular and Coordination Chemistry
The thesis involves the investigation of two main areas in which new ligands based on main group frameworks are developed. In the first part of this thesis we explore the host-guest chemistry of a range of non-carbon frameworks based on P-N bonds. In the first chapter we develop strategies for …

Polarity Inversion in Silicon and Phosphorus Compounds
… is currently fueling a renaissance in synthetic main group chemistry. The work herein describes efforts to design silicon and phosphorus compounds of inverse polarity with respect to conventional reactivity by accessing oxidation states that are atypical for these p-block elements. This umpolung …

Utilizing Phosphorus(I) Methods Towards Phosphorus(III) Heterocycles and Phosphorus(I) Macromolecules
… of electrons associated with it, as well as the chemistry of the atom. Phosphorus can exhibit a range of oxidation states such as; +1, +3, and +5. One of the main focuses of my research is to utilize phosphorus in the electron-rich +1 oxidation state to produce neutral P(I)-containing complexes …

Tris-Pyridyl Ligands and Beyond: Modifications Derived from the Bridgehead and Donor Vector
… is a fundamental and ongoing challenge in modern chemistry, and a cornerstone in modern catalysis, supramolecular assembly and biomimetics. The current world of coordination chemistry is dominated by ligands based on organic frameworks. However, there is a developing field of coordination and …

Exploring the Chemistry of Bis(azido)phosphine Chalcogenides and the Pursuit of Isolable Phosphinidene Chalcogenides
… motifs has revealed new reactivity modes for main-group compounds, akin to transition metals, in the past two decades. An underexplored class of two-coordinate phosphorus compound is a phosphinidene sulfide, which has yet to be isolated in the solid-state with an accompanying crystal …

Exploring the Synthesis, Structure, and Reactivity of Phosphorus-Chalcogen Heterocycles
In recent years, the field of low-coordinate main group chemistry has seen significant research interest due to their unique structures and unprecedented reactivity. Conversely, the area of phosphinidene chalcogenides, a low-coordinate phosphorus and chalcogen species, have yet to be thoroughly …
