Catalytic cycles templates
10 templates · 3 free to download · for university organic, inorganic and organometallic chemistry
Catalytic cycle templates for palladium cross-coupling (Suzuki–Miyaura, Heck, Buchwald–Hartwig, Sonogashira, Negishi and Stille), olefin metathesis, Wilkinson hydrogenation, the Wacker oxidation and an enzyme cycle. Each cycle labels oxidative addition, transmetalation, migratory insertion, β-hydride and reductive elimination steps around the metal centre.

What does a catalytic cycle template show?
The active catalyst, each intermediate around the cycle, the substrates that enter and the products that leave, with each elementary step named on its arrow.
Can I change the ligands or substrates?
Yes. Open the template in MolDraw and edit any structure; the cycle layout stays in place.
Are the catalytic cycles templates free?
3 of the 10 catalytic cycles templates are free to download. All of them can be previewed here and opened and edited in MolDraw; downloading the premium ones is part of MolDraw Pro.
