Catalysis and Chemical Engineering

Homogeneous and Organometallic Catalysis

This session delves into catalytic systems involving soluble metal complexes and organometallic frameworks. Highlights include ligand design, reaction kinetics, and mechanistic insights into C–C, C–H, and C–N bond formation reactions. Speakers will examine homogeneous catalytic pathways for pharmaceutical synthesis, fine chemical production, and green oxidation/reduction reactions. Topics also include catalyst stability, recyclability, and immobilization strategies for industrial-scale applications. Case studies on cross-coupling, hydroformylation, and olefin metathesis reactions will be presented. Advances in combining organometallic catalysts with flow chemistry platforms are also welcome.
