Kataliza kooperatywna

Tematyka badawcza

W grupie “Kataliza kooperatywna” (CoopCat) pracujemy nad problemami związanymi z konceptem katalizy kooperatywnej. W sposób naturalny wymaga to wyjścia poza klasyczny podział na katalizę homogeniczną, heterogeniczną i enzymatyczną. Nasze unikalne podejście bazuje na synergii pomiędzy teorią a eksperymentem: dokładne metody kwantowochemiczne pozwalają na opis i przewidywanie właściwości nowych katalizatorów, które możemy badać w naszym laboratorium.
