Lecture (Hybrid) entitled, “Bond Breaking and Making by Low-Valent Main Group Compounds”

INTRODUCTION:

The Sindh Innovation, Research, and Education Network (SIREN) working under the auspices of the Government of Sindh, and the International Center for Chemical and Biological Sciences (ICCBS) is organizing a Lecture entitled, “Bond Breaking and Making by Low-Valent Main Group Compounds”. All research scholars, students, scientists, and faculty of SIREN universities are cordially invited to attend this important lecture.

LEARNING OUTCOME:                                                                                            

Catalysis is responsible for the production of myriads of important chemicals but most of these reactions are done by transition metal compounds which are often expensive and toxic. Main group catalysis offers a great potential to  circumvent these problems, and recent work has demonstrated the ability of low valent main group compounds to mimic transition metal complexes in the cleavage of strong single bonds. This lecture will discuss the recent progress in addressing the fundamental aspects of bond breaking and making on main group centers.
