Metal/Ligand Proton Tautomerism Facilitates Dinuclear H2 Reductive Elimination (Kuo)

This LO was developed in 2022 as part of a collection celebrating the “Out in Inorganic Chemistry: A Celebration of LGBTQIAPN+ Inorganic Chemists” Inorganic Chemistry special issue. Check out the editorial and issue here: Editorial Special Issue

The questions below refer to the following 2020 publication by Dr. Jonathan Kuo and Dr. Karen Goldberg

“Metal/Ligand Proton Tautomerism Facilitates Dinuclear H2 Reductive Elimination”

Jonathan L. Kuo and Karen I. Goldberg*

J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2020, 142, 21439-21449

This activity is a literature discussion, and the questions could be given out before class to help guide the discussion, or to students in class to work on together in groups.
