Professors Paul J. Chirik of Princeton University, and Elizabeth Jarvo of the University of California-Irvine, are supported by the Chemical Catalysis Program in the Division of Chemistry to chair a workshop to discuss the opportunities and difficulties in seeking abundant, relatively non-toxic, and inexpensive alternatives for precious metal catalysts. The workshop brings together a diverse group of established and emerging leaders in order to address the lack of readily available synthetic precursors, the suppression of deleterious radical chemistry, the identification and optimization of unique mechanistic pathways and metal properties, and the implementation of spectroscopic and theoretical/computational methods for characterizing open shell transition metal compounds serving as catalysts in homogeneous reactions. Each of these critical topics must be addressed for base metal catalysts to attain or surpass the success of their precious metal (e.g. platinum, palladium, gold, etc.) counterparts. Catalysts plays a critical for the commercial production of renewable energy as well as for the manufacture of polymers and building materials, and the synthesis of chemicals and pharmaceuticals. This workshop focuses on fundamental research in which rare, expensive, and/or toxic metals are replaced with earth-abundant, inexpensive, and benign chemicals. Industrial participation underscores the practical challenges associated with base metal catalysis in the commercial economy. In order to broaden dissemination, this workshop is coupled with the Fall American Chemical Society National Meeting in Indianapolis, Indiana (Sept. 8-12, 2013). Additionally, the workshop proceedings and conclusions are disseminated to the scientific community through websites and a workshop report.

普林斯顿大学的Paul J.Chirik教授和加州大学欧文分校的Elizabeth Jarvo教授在化学系化学催化计划的支持下主持了一个研讨会，讨论寻找丰富、相对无毒和廉价的贵金属催化剂替代品的机会和困难。研讨会汇集了一批老牌和新兴的领军人物，以解决缺乏现成的合成前体、抑制有害的自由基化学、确定和优化独特的机理途径和金属性质，以及实施光谱和理论/计算方法来表征在均相反应中用作催化剂的开壳过渡金属化合物。要使贱金属催化剂获得或超过其贵金属(如铂、钯、金等)的成功，必须解决这些关键问题。对口单位。催化剂对可再生能源的商业生产、聚合物和建筑材料的制造以及化学品和药品的合成都起着至关重要的作用。这个研讨会的重点是基础研究，在这些研究中，稀有、昂贵和/或有毒的金属被富含地球、廉价和无害的化学物质所取代。工业参与突显了商业经济中与贱金属催化相关的实际挑战。为了扩大传播，这次研讨会与在印第安纳州印第安纳波利斯举行的秋季美国化学学会全国会议(9月1日)相结合。2013年8月12日)。此外，讲习班会议记录和结论通过网站和讲习班报告分发给科学界。
