Mechanisms of the Month
Guidelines for MechOM
group meetings:
• Name reactions, fields of research, as well as specific research papers
are
of interest for us.
• The specific topic for a MechOM session will be announced ca. 1-2 weeks
before
the
meeting.
• Starting materials and products will be given, but Students will have
to
show
detailed
mechanisms
on
the
chalk
board,
including
correct reaction arrows.
