November 2021
Our works on application of vegetable oils as a reaction media were highlighted in C2W news magazine of the Royal Netherlands Chemical Society (KNCV). For more details see here.
October 2021 Our work on application of vegetable oils as a solvent for cross-couplig reactions was highlighted in Chemistry World news magazine of the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC). For more details see here.
September 2021 Our study on the influence of various impurities, present in vegetable oils, on their performance as a solvent was accepted in Organometallics. Our work was in top 3 most viewed articles in Organometallics for the last 3 months of 2021. For more details see here.
July 2021 Our study on the application of food-grade and waste vegetable oils & related lipids as a solvent for chemical synthesis was accepted in Green Chemistry. For more details see here.
March 2021 We opened a position for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Organic Chemistry and Homogeneous Catalysis. The position's field of research: The work will focus on the design of new renewable ligands and catalysts. The Postdoctoral Research Fellow will be responsible for preparation of new phosphine and carbene ligands as well as for transition metal complexes based on these ligands. The Postdoctoral Research Fellow will evaluate the activity of prepared ligands and complexes on several transition metal-catalyzed transformations of industrial importance. The Postdoctoral Research Fello will become a member of an enthusiastic interdisciplinary research team, which combines experimental and computational tools in the development of novel catalysts. The candidate can expect to be involved in the supervision of Bachelor, Master and PhD students and may participate in teaching at the Department of Chemistry. For more details see here.
