Small Molecule Activation (HomCatal-3)5 ECTS
(englische Bezeichnung: Small Molecule Activation)
(Prüfungsordnungsmodul: Small Molecule Activation)

Lectures:

• • Small Molecule Activation
    (Seminar, Karsten Meyer, Fri, 13:15 - 14:45, A 1.42 Egerlandstr.1; Seminar: time and place by agreement)

Inhalt:

Lecture:

• Inorganic coordination chemistry, catalytic and electrocatalytic transformation of abundant small molecules N2, O2, CO or CO2, H2O and NH3, into value-added commodities, fine-chemicals, ac-tive pharmaceutical ingredients and polymers.

• Selective oxidation reactions.

• CO2 reduction to CO and subsequent Fischer-Tropsch catalysis for the production of carbon-based fuels.

• Reductive activation of atmospheric N2 to NH3 and the production of H2 from H2O splitting catalysis. Applications, e.g. fuel-cell technologies for carbon-free energy production.
  

Lernziele und Kompetenzen:

• is able to construct important reaction mechanisms and catalytic cycles

• can critically discuss small-molecule activation

Bemerkung:

The compulsory elective module Advances in Homogenous Catalysis can only be taken as a whole!
Module compability:

• Lecture module within the Compulsory Elective Module (20 ECTS in total!)

• Lecture module as part of the Elective Module (5 ECTS, not graded)!

Organisatorisches:

Please note:

• Small Molecule Activation will be taught only in summer term

• students have to register for the module (check registration periods)!

• registration/further information via StudOn!
