Title: Studies relevant to the catalytic activation of carbon monoxide

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5552754

Research activity during the current funding period (December 87 to present) of this grant has included continued mechanistic investigations of the nucleophilic activation of carbon monoxide such as homogeneous catalysis of the water gas shift and key steps in the relevant catalytic cycles. In addition, new investigations of related processes involved in the catalytic activation of carbon monoxide and other C{sub 1} compounds were initiated. These include the application of fast reaction techniques to prepare and to investigate quantitatively reactive organometallic intermediates relevant to the activation of hydrocarbons toward carbonylation and other functionalizations. 39 refs., 7 figs.
