  • Reductive Elimination Reactions 
    Perera, K. Sarath D. (Institute of Chemistry Ceylon, 2020-09)
    Reductive elimination (R.E.) is the opposite or the reverse of oxidative addition (O.A.), in which X-Y oxidatively adds on to Ln Mn+ to give Ln (X)(Y)M(n+2)+. LnM Y (n+2)+ X R.E. O.A. LnM n+ + X Y X and Y ...
  • Oxidative Addition Reactions 
    Perera, K. Sarath D. (Institute of Chemistry Ceylon, 2020-05)
    Coordinatively unsaturated metal centres (Mn+) (valence electron count, VEC<18) may undergo oxidative addition reactions to form saturated metal complexes by cleaving the X-Y bond of a molecule (e.g. H2 , O2 , ...
