Laboratory of Organometallic Catalysis

Jakub (Kuba) Robaszkiewicz, our PhD student, achieved third place in the European 360RG-CHEM Challenge, whose final took place on December 2, 2024, at the Faculty of Science and Technology of the University of Silesia in Katowice.
The European 360RG-CHEM Challenge is a joint initiative of the Faculty of Chemistry at the Silesian University of Technology, the Institute of Organic Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw, the Faculty of Chemistry at the Lodz University of Technology, and the Faculty of Science and Technology at the University of Silesia in Katowice.

Łukasz Banach has been granted funding for his project Search for the first-row transition metal-based catalytic system for efficient oxidation of hydrocarbons.

The project will be funded within the Excellence Initiative - Research University framework, competition 140: 50x50: fifty grants for fifty young scientists

Our PhD student, Jakub Robaszkiewicz, has been selected as a finalist in the European 36Org-Chem Challenge. This competition is aimed at young scientists working in the broad field of organic chemistry. On December 2nd, in Katowice, he will present the findings of his research on the Negishi cross-coupling reaction catalyzed by a simple cobalt-based system during the conference. The presentation will be evaluated by a jury of experts from the field of organic chemistry and must be delivered within 360 seconds. He will be competing against doctoral candidates from Poland, the Czech Republic, Romania, Hungary, and Germany.

We wish him good luck!

We are proud to present it to the world and we hope you will find everything you need here.
