Description
The aim of this research group is to develop catalysts for the transformation of low-functional substrates into products of industrial interest by means of homogeneous catalysis. The preferred substrates are hydrocarbons and other compounds with high chemical inertness such as nitrogen or carbon dioxide. For catalysts, metal complexes of elements of the first transition series will be used.
Goals CT
- Preparation of new organic ligands for the formation of metal complexes based on metals of the first transition series.
- Study of their reactivity in valorisation reactions of low-functionalised substrates with high chemical inertness under homogeneous conditions.
Research lines
