Hours/Credits: |
40/2 |
| Prerequisite(s): |
|
The pre-requisite for this course is Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry and Polymers. The course is designed for graduate students and those who are working in or intend to working in the field related catalytic chemistry. |
| Course Description: |
|
To extend the research concepts and skills acquired in second year, course contains basic principles and latest research reviews on organometallic catalysis. After completing the course, students should learn the typical catalytic mechanism and recent developing tendency in organometalllic catalysis field, such as current most challenging work, varied potential solution and respective advantage/ disadvantages. |
| Course Content: |
|
The course covers extensive knowledge of organometallic catalysis. Fundamental theories will be established and applied. Research reviews will be introduced in lecture also. In detail, main content lists as following: organometallic elementary steps, metal oriented reactivity, ligand exchange reactions, oxidative addition/reductive elimination, s-bond metathesis (SBM), electron transfer reactions, ligand oriented reactivity, electrophilic attack at coordinated ligands, nucleophilic attack at coordinated ligands, atom and group transfer reactions, 1,2-, 1,3-ligand shift reactions (insertions), internal oxidative coupling reactions (metallacyclisations), non redox type ligand coupling reactions, organometallic (homogeneous) catalysis, general aspects of organometallic catalysis, hydrogenations and hydrosilylations, olefin and acetylene catalyses, C-C-coupling catalyses including metallacyclisations, other C-C coupling reactions, carbon monoxide catalyses, catalytic atom and group transfer catalyses, oxidations. |
