Course description and aims
[Summary of the lecture] Chemistry of catalytic processes I (heterogeneous) and chemistry of catalytic processes II (homogeneous) introduce catalytic processes in industry. This course, chemistry of catalytic processes II (homogeneous), covers fundamental concepts in homogeneous catalytic reactions and operative examples.
[Aim of the lecture] Homogeneous molecular catalysis has an important part in production of commodity chemicals and fine chemicals. This course first covers the characteristics of homogeneous catalysis. After that, the background and reaction mechanism of representative industrial reactions catalyzed by transition metal complexes are taught.
Student learning outcomes
At the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Explain the feature of homogeneous catalytic processes.
2) Understand the elementary steps in organometallic complexes and explain the mechanisms of homogeneous catalysis of transition metal complexes.
Keywords
homogeneous catalysis, transition metal complex, oxidative addition, migratory insertion, reductive elimination, beta-hydrogen elimination, asymmetric hydrogenation, carbonylation, Monsanto process, Wacker process, olefin metathesis, olefin polymerization, cross coupling reaction
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
This course firstly covers fundamentals in homogeneous catalysis. In the second half of the course, representative reactions catalyzed by transition metal complexes are introduced. In the last day, final examination is set to assess the level of understanding.

| Class 3 | Catalytic carbonylation reactions | Explain the mechanism of catalytic carbonylation. |
| Class 4 | Catalytic Oxidation reactions | Explain the mechanism of catalytic oxidation and synthetic processes of acetic acid. |
| Class 5 | Olefin metathesis reactions and olefin polymerization | Explain the mechanisms of olefin metathesis reactions and olefin polymerization. |
| Class 6 | Cross coupling reactions | Explain the mechanisms of cross coupling reactions. |
| Class 7 | Practice problems to assess the level of understanding and explanation of the answers | Understand the course contents and solve practice problems. |
Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)
To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
