Laboratory of Organometallic Catalysis

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!
