DESCRIPTION:Prof. Robin Bedford\, Professor of Catalysis\, University of B
 ristol\, School of Chemistry\, Bristol\, UK\nWhile palladium-based catalys
 ts are excellent for a range of carbon-carbon bond-forming catalytic react
 ions\, their high cost\, scarcity and toxicity mean that we need to replac
 e them with catalysts based on more sustainable metals. The low cost\, bio
 compatibility and accessibility of iron make it an ideal candidate. This t
 alk will outline our recent  work on developing cross-coupling catalysts 
 based on iron and the efforts undertaken to try and establish the mechanis
 ms of catalysis.
