Learning objectives

Provide fundamental concepts concerning the use of transition metals in homogeneous catalysis.

Prerequisites

NO

Course unit content

<br />1) Base concept: homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, main differences. Transition metal electron counting, MLX method. Type of bonds in organometallic compounds.<br />2) Elemetary steps in catalytic cycles in homogeneous catalysis: ligand dissociation, oxidative addition, insertion and deinsertion in M-C, transmetallation, electrophilic/nucleophilic attack on coordinated ligands, sigma-bond metathesis.<br />3) Activation of substrates with non polar single bonds, H-H, C-H.<br />4) Activation of substrates with polar single bonds: C-X, C-O, C-S.<br />5) Metal-carbene. Fisher and Schrock carbenes.<br />6) 1,2-insertion, beta-elimination.<br />7) Reductive elimination.<br />
