'Simple dinuclear organometallic complexes - a synthetic challenge that pays off with GREEN CHEMISTRY'

 

 

The term organometallic chemistry is used for a vast field of different activities, spanning the range from classical co-ordination chemistry which has its roots in inorganic chemistry and its focus in synthesis and characterisation of metal complexes, to the more modern use in metal-mediated organic transformations en route to new pharmaceuticals or during the total synthesis of highly complex organic or natural products. For many decades, there is a vast amount of catalytic processes promoted by organometallics, e.g. in polymer synthesis.

 

Unfortunately, the term 'organomentallic' evokes many critical feelings and nowadays it is en vogue to think of catalyst leaching, contamination, pollution and toxic waste and blaming the 'metal catalyst' for its bad properties while taking the product made with its help for granted.

            

Our goal is to establish environmentally benign processes involving organometallic catalysis. We demonstrate that tailor-made organometallic compounds are very often the key to new or vastly improved processes, yielding ecologically friendly and economically sensible chemistry. Therefore, organometallic chemistry can very well be the key tool in green chemistry. Catalyst design and synthesis will be discussed and highlighted catalytic process promoted by organometallics are the hydrodesulphurisation, oxidation of cyclic ethers and others.
