Learning Outcomes
Competences
The lecture on Catalysis and Reaction Mechanism is dealing with the elucidation of reaction mechanisms in catalytic process and chemical reactions in general. The basic strategies to elucidate reaction mechanism will be detailed and the utilization of chemical as well as spectroscopic methods and tools for the investigation of details of (catalytic) reactions. The methods will be demonstrated in selected important reactions.
Skills Knowledge
The contents of the course will enable students to • understand and apply methods to elucidate and study reaction mechanisms in organic chemistry, organometallic chemistry and catalysis. (k1, k2, k3, k4) • understand, analyze and assess the multidisciplinary background of catalytic phenomena. (k2, k4) • apply and analyze the kinetic steps involved in catalytic reactions. (k2, k3, k4) • know, understand and apply analytical tools like spectroscopic methods in homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. (k1, k2, k4) • understand and analyze the interplay of different experimental and theoretical (computational chemistry) methods • Homogeneous Catalysis • Heterogeneous Catalysis • Reaction kinetics • Experimental investigation of reaction mechanisms • Spectrocopic methods • Isotope effects • Isotope labelling • LFER effects • Computational method application for assistance in elucidating reaction mechanisms • Reaction mechanisms in transition metal catalysis • Examples of reaction mechanism evaluation in homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis
