Molecules Webinar | Recent Advancements in Organometallic Chemistry and Homogeneous Catalysis

Organometallic chemistry is at the heart of the development of new catalytic tools to promote molecular diversity utilizing the most straightforward and atom-economic routes. Progress in homogeneous catalysis allows energy issues to be addressed through the development of highly active and reactive catalysts, which, for example, enable the activation of unreactive bonds and therefore the use of less toxic and more elementary/bulk reagents. Recent developments in homogeneous catalysis also address environmental and societal issues, such as the decrease in nonrenewable resources through the development of synthetic routes from biomass-derived feedstock, as well as the use of earth-abundant metal-based catalysts as more sustainable alternatives to noble metals.
This webinar will present recent contributions in these domains, with a look at nickel chemistry, the development of cascade reactions, and the activation of N–C bonds.
