Metal catalysts are extensively used both in the research laboratory and in industrial/manufacturing processes. Indeed, it is hard to find a complex synthetic reaction or an industrial process that does not, at some stage, require a metal catalyst.
Transition metals in particular are the metal of choice for use as catalysts in organic, organometallic and electrochemical reactions owing to their ability to exist in a variety of oxidation states, interchange between oxidation states form complexes with organic ligands, and act as a good source of electrons. Many key transformations in organic synthesis, e.g., cross-coupling reactions that include the Nobel Prize-winning Heck, Suzuki, and Negishi reactions, require the use of such late transition metals as palladium, platinum, gold, ruthenium, rhodium, or iridium.
We offer a wide selection of homogeneous and heterogeneous metal/precious metal catalysts for a broad range of organic synthetic reactions including metal complexes with chiral ligands for asymmetric hydrogenation, novel palladium coupling catalysts, platinum group metal (PGM)-based heterogeneous catalysts as well as Sponge Nickel catalysts. The benefits of using our metal catalysts include:
