What are Some Common Examples of Organometallic Catalysts?
Some well-known organometallic catalysts include: - Grubbs Catalyst: Used in olefin metathesis. - Wilkinson’s Catalyst: Employed in hydrogenation reactions. - Palladium Catalysts: Widely used in cross-coupling reactions like Suzuki-Miyaura and Heck reactions. - Ziegler-Natta Catalysts: Crucial for polymerizing olefins to produce polyethylene and polypropylene.
