Hydrogenation reactions catalysed by organometallic complexes

In this thesis we have computationally studied two types of reduction processes which can be classified as asymmetric hydrogenation of ketones and reduction of imines. Density functional theory has been applied throughout the thesis. The reduction of acetophenone to phenylethanol catalysed by the tr...
