We contribute to the field of Inorganic and Organometallic Chemistry on fundamental and applied levels, by investigating new efficient ways to activate small molecules and developing catalysts useful in both academic and chemical industry. To accomplish this goal, we systematically develop the hitherto unknown N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand supported late transition metal and main group metal catalysts. Novel synthetic methods to metal-NHCs are also being developed within the group, with the aim of making these complexes more attractive for wide scale-use.
