Organometallic chemistry stands at the forefront of modern chemical research, playing a pivotal role in catalysis, material science and pharmaceuticals. At the heart of this field lie catalytic mechanisms, the intricate processes by which transition metal complexes facilitate chemical reactions. Recent years have witnessed remarkable strides in understanding these mechanisms, driving innovation in diverse applications ranging from sustainable energy to drug synthesis. Catalytic mechanisms in organometallic chemistry involve the activation and transformation of substrates by transition metal complexes. Key to these processes is ligands, which bind to metal centers and modulate their reactivity. Recent advancements have shed light on the dynamic interplay between ligand design, metal coordination and substrate binding, providing insights into reaction pathways and selectivity.
