Welcome to our new group webpage.  We design, synthesize and study organometallic complexes for their potential usage as homogeneous catalysts for various important chemical transformations.  Of current interest to us are olefin polymerization, ring-opening lactide polymerization and CO2/epoxide polymerization.
