Research Projects
Prof. Adriano Lisboa Monteiro
The research focuses on homogeneous catalysis with a strong
emphasis on metal-mediated synthetic methodologies for
the construction of C-C bonds (cross-coupling reactions,
carbonylation, hydrogenation and oligomerisation). Our
main goals are:
- development of simple and efficient Pd and Ni-catalytic
system operating at low catalyst loading and under mild
conditions.
- design of new catalyst and ligands.
- catalyst recovering and reutilization.
- mechanistic studies.
- application in the synthesis of fine chemicals.
