Synthetic Methods of Organometallic and Inorganic Chemistry, Volume 10: Catalysis

Inorganic and Organometallic Chemistry

The activities of the group comprise the synthesis, characterization and reactivity studies of inorganic, organometallic and intermetallic compounds of actinides and lanthanides in order to understand the influence of the electronic configuration and of the size of these elements in the chemical behaviour of their compounds. Reactivity properties are assessed by stoichiometric reactions and by ...

Organometallic chemistry

This Thematic Series is dedicated to the memory of Professor Peter Hofmann (Figure 1) whose research work included many seminal contributions to the field of organometallic chemistry [1-3]. Organometallic chemistry has therefore been chosen as the topic of this Thematic Series of the Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry. Over a period of many decades, the chemistry of metal–carbon bonds has g...

Inorganic and Bio-inorganic Chemistry

Actinide organometallic chemistry.

The stoichiometric and catalytic chemistry of metal-organic compounds having actinide-to-carbon bonds is in a stage of rapid growth. Chemical, structural, and bonding characteristics have been identified which differ in interesting and informative ways from those of d-block transition element compounds.

Designing organometallic compounds for catalysis and therapy.

Bioorganometallic chemistry is a rapidly developing area of research. In recent years organometallic compounds have provided a rich platform for the design of effective catalysts, e.g. for olefin metathesis and transfer hydrogenation. Electronic and steric effects are used to control both the thermodynamics and kinetics of ligand substitution and redox reactions of metal ions, especially Ru(II)...
