Research Interests
Reactivity of unsaturated substrates (organonitriles, isocyanides, alkynes, alkenes, carbon monoxide, dinitrogen) upon coordination to metal centers See example: Boyarskiy, V. P.; Bokach, N. A.; Luzyanin, K. V.; Kukushkin, V. Yu. Metal-mediated and metal-catalyzed reactions of isocyanides, Chem. Rev. 2015, 115, 2698-2779. DOI: 10.1021/cr500380d New! See invited lecture on this topic at the Centro de Química Estrutural (ChemFORUM 2016) Search for new synthetic strategies for sustainable catalytic and metal-mediated transformations of organic substrates affording compounds of high added value See example: Boyarskiy, V. P.; Luzyanin, K. V.; Kukushkin, V. Yu. Acyclic diaminocarbenes (ADCs) as a promising alternative to N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) in transition metal catalyzed organic transformations, Coord. Chem. Rev. 2012, 256, 2029–2056. DOI: 10.1016/j.ccr.2012.04.022 Application of modern analytical techniques (NMR spectroscopy, mass-spectrometry, X-ray diffraction) for elucidation of structure of organic and organometallic species, and investigation of reaction mechanisms See example: Iggo, J.
