RESEARCH INTERESTS

	Catalysis over metals

		ring-opening reactions of cyclic compounds (alkylsubstited cyclopropanes,
		cyclobutanes, various oxiranes), transformations of glycerol over
		supported or support-free early transition or transition metal catalysts:
		kinetic and mechanistic studies; synthesis, characterization and catalytic use of metal nanoparticles (relevant papers)

		hydrogenation of olefins over transition metal catalysts; effect
		of S-, N-, I- and Cl-containing modifiers (relevant papers)

		IR spectroscopic methods for studying the adsorption of simple organic
		molecules over supported transition metal catalysts (relevant papers)

	Synthesis, characterisation of micro- and mesoporous materials or their precursors and their catalytic applications

		synthesis, modification and/or characterization of zeolites, zeotypes,
		Nafion-H  related materials, silica, salts of Keggin ions, heteropoly acids,
		layered double hydroxides, layered composites, cationic and anionic pillared materials and
		their applications as catalysts in the transformations of various organic
		compounds (relevant papers)

	Bioinspired catalyis

		synthesis, characterisation and catalytic applications of biomimetic materials -
		supported or support-free mono- or bimetallic complexes as structural and/or
		functional enzyme mimics (relevant papers)

	Physical organic chemistry

		organic reaction mechanisms: experimental and theoretical approach, mainly
		concentrating on Perkin condensation reactions leading to cinnamic acid
		derivatives and their analogues (relevant papers)

	Structural chemistry

		experimental and computational investigations on the structure of various molecules
		and complexes, and their structure-forming properties in various solvents, in the crystalline
		state or over polycrystalline metal surfaces (relevant papers)
