An organometallic perspective to first-row transition metal catalysis

Catalysis plays a pivotal role in the development of environmentally friendly and efficient chemical processes towards the synthesis of high-value chemicals from abundant and renewable feedstocks. On the quest of more sustainable synthesis, our research group focuses on the discovery and development of organic reactions catalyzed by middle and late first-row metals (Mn, Fe, Co, Ni).
