Mechanistic processes in organometallic chemistry Faraday Discussion

2 - 4 September 2019, York, United Kingdom


Introduction

Welcome

Join us in York in September 2019 for this addition to our Faraday Discussion series. For over 100 years and 300 meetings, Faraday Discussions have been the forefront of physical chemistry. Many of these Discussions have become landmark meetings in their field.
 
We invite you to join us to discuss the topic of mechanistic processes in organometallic chemistry and make your contribution to this cutting-edge dialogue alongside leaders in this field.
 
This meeting is for established scientists, post-graduate students and industrial researchers interested in mechanistic studies coupled with novel experimental and computational methods. Given the substantial current interest in catalysis for synthetic chemistry and the need for mechanistic insights in the field, the unique format of the Faraday Discussions will allow for in-depth discussions and opportunities to establish new collaborations.
 
On behalf of our committee, we look forward to welcoming you to York.

John Slattery and Jason Lynam
Co-chairs
 

Attendance  

The 澳门六合彩开奖记录 is keen to encourage and enable as many people as possible to attend our events, to benefit from the networking opportunities and the chance to hear talks from leaders in the field. If you have childcare, caring responsibilities or other care needs, and would like to attend this event, please do get in touch with us to see if there鈥檚 anything we can do to help enable you to attend.
 

Format

Faraday Discussions remain amongst the only conferences to distribute the speakers鈥 research papers in advance, allowing the majority of each meeting to be devoted to discussion in which all delegates can participate.  Following each meeting a written record of the discussion is published alongside the papers in the Faraday Discussions journal.

Themes

This Faraday Discussion aims to bring together a range of leaders in the field of organometallic, physical and computational chemistry to discuss new mechanistic insights and methodologies for mechanistic studies.

The substantial current interest in catalysis for synthetic chemistry and the need for mechanistic insights in the field, aimed at providing a rational foundation for further developments, make this meeting both timely and important.

The Faraday Discussion will be organised into the following themes:

Physical methods for mechanistic understanding
This first session will focus on discussing novel and emerging physical approaches for developing mechanistic insight in organometallic chemistry and catalysis. This will involve new instrumentation (e.g. low-field NMR, in situ photochemistry with NMR) and new methodologies (e.g. kinetic analyses using the Reaction Progress Kinetic Analysis (RPKA) approach, new hyperpolarisation techniques, time-resolved NMR, M枚ssbauer and MCD spectroscopy of organometallics, mass spectrometric identification of reaction intermediates).

Understanding unusual element-element bond formation and activation
This second session will focus on new studies of the fundamental mechanistic processes underpinning the formation, or activation, of unusual element-element bonds. A particularly active area that will be covered will be C-F bond formation and activation, as insights into the physical processes at work here will play a key role in the development of new reactions for the formation of fluorinated molecules in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and materials chemistry.

Computational and theoretical approaches for mechanistic understanding
This third session will focus on novel computational studies and new methodological developments of relevance to understanding mechanism in organometallic chemistry. Quantum chemical studies play a key role in the field of mechanistic organometallic chemistry, as there is often a strong synergy between experimental and computational studies, with each providing complementary information. However there are significant challenges in accurately modelling 鈥渞eal-world鈥 systems and computational methodologies in this area have been rapidly evolving in recent years.

Mechanistic insight into organic and industrial transformations
The final session will focus on developments in mechanistic understanding that underpin important applications of organometallic chemistry in organic synthesis and other areas, such as olefin oligomerisation. There have been rapid developments in recent years in the synthetic application of organometallic catalysts. However, fundamental mechanistic insights have frequently lagged behind synthetic developments in this area. This session will focus on work that has been done to uncover the physical processes behind important synthetic and industrial applications, as this understanding is important in allowing the rational design of more efficient, selective catalysts in the future.
 
Speakers
Robert Morris (Introductory Lecturer), University of Toronto, Canada

Dr. Robert Morris was born in Ottawa, Canada and received a BSc from the U. Waterloo and PhD from the U. British Columbia. After postdoctoral research at the Unit of Nitrogen Fixation at U. Sussex and at Pennsylvania State U., Dr. Morris started as an assistant professor at the U. Toronto in 1980.
 
His discoveries of the first iron-group dihydrogen compounds, hydridic-protonic bonding and the concept of ligand acidity constants led to a better understanding of a common reaction in catalysis, the heterolytic splitting of dihydrogen. Dr Morris and his group have shown that this is a key step in the proposed mechanism for the production of chemicals and pharmaceuticals catalyzed by ruthenium hydrogenation catalysts. The continued study, syntheses and mechanistic investigation of a variety of ligand structures on iron group elements led Dr. Morris and his team to the discovery of the first well defined catalysts based on iron for the asymmetric hydrogenation of ketones and imines.  GreenCentre Canada helped to commercialize these catalysts.
 
Dr. Morris has won the Canadian inorganic chemistry awards and the 2017 澳门六合彩开奖记录 Inorganic Mechanisms award and is a Fellow of the CIC and the Royal Society of Canada and a Killam Research Fellow (2015-2017).
