Coordination Chemistry 1: Basics of Catalysis
Channel: Oxford College Chemistry Courses: Scharf
Date: 15/05/2023

This video describes the principles of catalysis, as appropriate for students who have some knowledge of thermodynamics, kinetics, and organic reaction mechanisms. Homogeneous vs. heterogeneous catalysts are described; and homogeneous examples such as Brønsted and Lewis acids & bases, enzymes, and transition metal catalysts are mentioned. (This is the first in a series of videos about transition metal catalysis, hence the title including "coordination chemistry.")
