a knowledge-driven approach to
sustainable asymmetric catalysis
Our lab is committed to address the key global challenge of sustainability by contributing to the generation of more efficient, greener and sustainable chemical processes.
We focus on the synergistic combination of diverse sustainable catalytic tools, including organocatalysis (the use of small chiral organic molecules as catalysts), photocatalysis (the use of the energy of light to mediate chemical reactions), and electrocatalysis (the direct use of electrons as mass-free reagents to trigger red-ox events) to develop new activation strategies and reaction paradigms in asymmetric catalysis. Our goal is to design, develop, and optimise new catalytic systems by relying on a knowledge-driven approach, that maximises the use of relevant quantitative mechanistic information while at the same time minimising the common empirical optimisation processes based on extensive screenings.
