Research interests of our group encompass areas of organic, inorganic and organometallic chemistry. We design and develop organometallic and metal-free systems with fundamentally novel properties which can be used as catalysts for important yet problematic chemical reactions. We make a main focus on the understanding of chemical and physical properties of these systems and the mechanistic features of their reactivity. Application of these novel systems to find a solution to challenging catalytic transformations, including asymmetric catalysis, with potential practical importance is our ultimate goal. Ideally, we aim for sustainable, environmentally benign one-pot reactions which generate minimal chemical waste, use non-toxic reagents and require little energy.
