Description

Our research group works actively on the the preparation of compounds of industrial interest using new catalyst systems in sustainable media. In addition to the synthesis of several metal complexes featuring significantly improved catalytic profiles, new applications for the latter compounds and other catalysts are sought so that the access to relevant chemical entities (biologically active compounds, natural products, new materials) is simplified and performed through very short, efficient synthetic sequences where the presence of metal traces in final products is minimized and sustainable reaction media are mainly used. As part of the so-called chemical recycling and circular economy, catalytic degradation of industrial waste materials is also under research in our laboratories.
