Deciphering Mechanisms of Organometallic Reactions
A detailed in-class analysis of the paper “Mechanism for the Activation of Carbon Monoxide via Oxorhenium Complexes” by Smeltz, Boyle, and Ison; J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2011, 133, 13288-13291. Students will apply their knowledge of organometallic chemistry concepts to the mechanistic scheme in the paper.
