Non-noble metal catalysis for Cross-coupling reactions: Computational insights KU Leuven
Catalysis plays a pivotal role in our society since we are critically dependent on plastic materials and pharmaceutical products of which many steps of their industrial production are led by catalyzed processes.
Accordingly, the development of a new catalytic systems based on transition metals is very active.
However, catalysts are, nowadays, mainly made by organometallic complexes based on rare and precious noble metals such as Pd, ...
