Chemistry: Graduate Lecture Series: (CA1) New Directions in Metal and Non-Metal Catalysis (3L)
CATALYSIS (CA)
(CA1) New Directions in Metal and Non-Metal Catalysis (3L)
Topics: frustrated Lewis Pairs; non-transition metal catalysis; activation of small molecules using lattices.
The course involves the applications of non-transition metals in catalysis and molecular activation. The two main areas to be discussed are:
a) The concept of frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) in small molecule activation and, in particular, hydrogen splitting. b) The applications of main group elements in various bond-forming reactions (dehydrocoupling, hydroamination etc).
The applications of these areas in synthetic transformations and in energy storage will be major themes.
