- Carbon monoxide is a key feedstock in the industrial production of hydrocarbons. This paper is significant as a low-coordinate transition metal, being both abundant and environmentally benign, has been shown to cleave and homologate carbon monoxide. The work has invited the attention of T4 Sustainability Ltd. (John Beardmore, info@t4sltd.co.uk), who believe the CO homologation chemistry has potentially broad applications in the chemical industry and are working with us to develop the industrial application. They have offered in-kind staff time, valued at £2500, towards developing a subsequent project, with a full proposal in preparation for the Leverhulme Trust.
