Interests
Our research interests span from the design of novel catalysts based on d- and p-block elements to uncover previously unknown pathways to the discovery of new synthetic organic transformations. The main goal of the research group is to provide original ligand designs, catalytic sustainable methodologies and in-depth mechanistic understanding using catalytic amount of Earth-abundant elements.Publications
