How to build a catalytic cycle part 1 **Rhodium is in Group 9**

Hey guys! Let's learn about how catalysts work in inorganic chemistry. TAKE NOTE: Keep in mind that the element Rhodium (Rh) is found in GROUP 9, not group 7 of the periodic table. So, the electron count for the precatalyst above is 16 e-, not 14 as mentioned earlier in the video. Catalysts are chemical species that lower the activation energy of reactants to speed up a chemical reaction without changing the rate of a reaction. We have several types of catalysts, in inorganic, bioinorganic, and other chemical fields and disciplines, depending on the application and use of the catalyst. We can understand how catalysts operate in catalytic cycles. A catalytic cycle is basically a visual representation involving elementary steps in which the catalyst undergoes in order to convert reactants to products. Since a catalytic cycle is a cycle, the catalyst usually is regenerated at the end of the reaction and is reused for subsequent reactions in the catalysis. Some of the elementary steps mentioned in this video include: oxidative addition, 1,2-insertion, reductive elimination, and others. These steps all come together to help chemists understand how a catalyst works in a given catalysis. This is very important towards specific chemical applications including petroleum refining, pharmaceutical synthesis, sustainability, and others. Here's a challenge for you guys: Try to apply the 18-electron rule to determine the valency of each step of the catalyst in the given mechanism of the video. Thanks guys! Please like and subscribe!
