koordinataatorkatalüüs
Koordinataatorkatalüüs, often translated as coordinator catalysis, is a type of catalysis where a transition metal complex acts as the catalyst. This complex typically involves a central metal atom coordinated to a set of ligands. These ligands are crucial as they can influence the electronic and steric properties of the metal center, thereby tuning its catalytic activity and selectivity. The catalytic cycle often involves the substrate molecules coordinating to the metal center, undergoing transformation, and then dissociating.
In coordinator catalysis, the metal-ligand interactions are key. The ligands can stabilize the metal in various
Applications of coordinator catalysis are vast and span many areas of chemistry. It is widely employed in
