For all
the computational organometallists out there:
Why Ir
and not other metals catalyses hydrogenation?
Why Pd
for cross-coupling?
Why Ru
for metathesis?
I cannot find any specific explanation
that connects a metal to its reaction. Tons of mechanistic
studies and reviews, without explanations on why this
metal and only this metal for this reactions.
Is this info hidden or unknown? Any good paper or book? Thanks, Sebastian |
