Organometallic Catalysis in Sustainable Chemistry

Descripción

Organometallic Catalysis in Sustainable Chemistry offers foundational knowledge to tackle sustainability challenges from a chemical perspective, primarily through homogeneous organometallic catalysis. The course centers around dihydrogen (H₂) as the key sustainability molecule, utilizing it in various roles, such as in processes that produce or consume dihydrogen. With these tools, the course explores methods for storing H₂, upgrading biomass, and utilizing CO₂ to create industrially valuable commodity chemicals. Highly beneficial and engaging for students, the course follows a logical progression. It starts with the basics of organometallic chemistry and then applies this knowledge to catalysis, with a focus on sustainability. By completing the course, students will gain essential tools to independently explore organometallic catalysis in sustainable chemistry. This course is designed for students or professionals, typically with a Bachelor's degree in chemistry or equivalent relevant industrial experience, who have an interest in homogeneous catalysis and sustainability.
