Despite its popularity of, this cycloaddition process remains victim of its own success and only little efforts have been focused on developing efficient catalytic systems, preventing numerous applications from meeting the stringent Click criteria. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E In this Seminar, our contribution to the field will be discussed with a comparison of the catalysts developed so far bearing either N-heterocyclic carbene or phosphorous ligands. Furthermore, our latest results for the more challenging reaction of azides and iodoalkynes will be presented, along with the first mechanistic study on this cycloaddition reaction.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFor more information contact \u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:stefan.france@chemistry.gatech.edu\u0022\u003EProf. Stefan France\u003C\/a\u003E (404-385-1796).\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWebsite:\u0026nbsp; \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www3.imperial.ac.uk\/naturalsciences\/research\/featuredresearchers\/silviadiezgonzalez\u0022\u003ESilvia Diez-Gonzalez\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EProf. Silvia Diez-Gonzalez, Imperial College, UK\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWell-Defined Copper(I) Catalysts for True Click Cycloaddition Reactions\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESpecial Seminar\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":"","uid":"27275","created_gmt":"2013-05-08 14:08:23","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 02:03:30","author":"Shirley Tomes","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2013-05-23T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2013-05-23T13:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2013-05-23T13:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2013-05-23 16:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2013-05-23 17:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2013-05-23 17:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"85951","name":"School of Chemistry and Biochemistry"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EShirley Tomes (404-894-0591) \u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:shirley.tomes@chemistry.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Eshirley.tomes@chemistry.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
