Dalton Discussion 6: Organometallic Chemistry and Catalysis

University of York, UK
9 - 11 September 2003

 

Organised by the Dalton Division of the RSC

The discussion will focus on Organometallic Chemistry and Catalysis. Organometallic chemistry has made rapid advances, especially in catalysis and materials. Meanwhile, new enzymes have been discovered with metal-carbon bonds and new methods have been developed for studying short-lived organometallics.

Themes

• New Chemistry of C-H and C-F Activation
• Catalysis and Polymerisation
• Organometallic Materials
• Links to Enzymes and Biological Chemistry
• Organometallic Reactivity
• Mechanisms and Methods
