Designing systems where two different types of catalytic sites work in tandem—for example, a metal site for hydrogenation and an acid site for dehydration—to complete complex multi-step reactions in a single "one-pot" process.
Reducing waste by ensuring every atom in the reactant ends up in the product, often by using "tethered" catalysts that are easy to recover and reuse without losing their activity. Catalysis: An Integrated Approach to Homogeneou...
Learning from the high efficiency of enzymes to create synthetic catalysts that operate under mild conditions (low temperature/pressure) while maintaining extreme specificity. Designing systems where two different types of catalytic
