Title: Activation of small molecules on Al(I) and Ga(I) carbenoids: from bond cleavage to coupling reactions
Date: Thursday October 10, 2024
Time: 1:30-2:20pm
Room: ABB 165
Host: Dr. Yurij Mozharivskyj
Abstract:
Activation of small molecules by low-valent main group compounds is a hot topic,1 of which the bond cleavage by carbenoids, electronic analogues of carbene, is the most common.2 The NacNac-supported Al(I) and Ga(I) compounds NacNacM have been in the focus of several groups, including ours. In this talk we shall review the results of the past decade of research3 and highlight the increasing complication of reactivity, progressing from bond activation to multicomponent reactions and coupling.4
