Information on course details and organization by Prof. Harder and Prof. Dorta can be found on their respective StudOn folders – please register there; Fr., 8:15 - 10:00, H2 Egerlandstr.3; The course starts on April 16 with lectures by Prof. Harder, followed on June 11 with lectures by Prof. Dorta)
  • Organometallic Catalysis - Seminar
    (Seminar, 1 SWS, Sjoerd Harder et al., Time and place by agreement!)

Inhalt:

• Harder: Introduction and basic principles of advanced catalysis, homogeneous vs. heterogeneous catalysis, mechanisms of substrate activation (C=C, C=O), control by ligand and metal choice, classical catalytic cycles: Wilkinson catalyst, C-C cross coupling, hydroformylation, polymerization catalysis, catalysis with main group metals.

• Dorta: Review of basic organometallic mechanisms & reactivity (elementary reactions, isolobality); Hydrogenation of alkenes and aromatics; C–C cross coupling; Atom-economical C–C formation (alkene hydroformylation & hydrocyanation, alkene oligomerization, methanol carbonylation); Synthetic fuels form CO (methanol, MTG, Fischer-Tropsch); Alkene metathesis; Selective C–O bond formation (epoxidations and Wacker-type oxidations)
