Advanced organometallic chemistry, homogeneous catalysis and related heterogeneous processes. Selected topics include: chiral metallocenes and their application in enantioselective reactions, Pd-catalyzed C-C bond forming reactions, olefin metathesis, alkane conversion (C-H ad C-C bond activation), C1 chemistry, processes inorganic and organic fluorine chemistry.
Objective
