| Catalyst discovery and development often rely on empirical observations and chemical intuition. By using physical organic methods to study catalytic mechanisms, new design principles can lead to non-intuitive catalyst structures and more effective catalysts. As a case study, the design and development of new palladium catalysts for aerobic oxidations of organic substrates based on insight gained through mechanistic studies will be discussed. |
