Abstract

The association and dissociation of ligands plays a vital role in determining the reactivity of organometallic catalysts. Computational studies with density functional theory often fail to reproduce experimental metal-ligand bond energies, but recently functionals which better capture dispersion effects have been developed. Here we explore their application and discuss future challenges for computational studies of organometallic catalysis.
