Welcome to the innovative research of our team, where we are pushing the boundaries of sustainable chemistry. Our research is centered on three main directions:

Activation of inert bonds and molecules

We are developing novel approaches to form C-C bonds involving CO₂ and exploring direct C-H carboxylation reactions for the late-stage C-H carboxylations. Our team is also working on commercial pharmaceutical production through CO₂ fixation, unlocking new possibilities for sustainable synthesis.

Sustainable approaches for organic synthesis

We are committed to finding sustainable solutions for organic synthesis, and our latest research shows promising results. We have discovered that food-grade and waste vegetable oils can be used as efficient solvents for a range of cross-coupling reactions, including Suzuki-Miyaura, Hiyama, Stille, Sonogashira, and Heck cross-couplings, providing a greener alternative to traditional solvents. Our team is exploring other renewable chemicals and solvents to expand this strategy even further. 

Homogeneous catalysts from renewables

We are developing renewable catalysts and ligands for homogeneous catalysis, with a focus on substituting the most successful ligands and catalysts with equally effective renewable analogues. Our team is dedicated to discovering new ways to achieve efficient catalysis while minimizing the environmental impact.

At our team, we are driven by our passion for sustainability and innovation. Join us in our quest to create a more sustainable future through chemistry.
