            Catalytic reactions are studied mainly by the teams at the Departments of Inorganic and Or

            Faculty of Science. The research in the Laboratory of Organoelement Chemistry and Catalysi
            Department of Inorganic Chemistry is focused mainly on the synthesis of new phosphinoferro
            modified by functional groups that enable their applications in the catalysis of synthetic

            reaction as well as specific ligands in coordination compounds. Typical representatives ar
            phosphines bearing functional amide substituents. Attention is being paid to their prepara
            structures, but also to their coordination behaviour and catalytic properties. Naturally, 

            encompasses also the adjoining areas such as studies into the biological properties of the
            coordination compounds, search for unusual bonding motifs in their structures and electroc

            properties of these ferrocene derivatives to name just few. The Laboratory of Catalysis in
            Synthesis at the Department of Organic Chemistry aims at development of transition metal?c
            reactions suitable for the preparation of organic compounds. Reactions studied include [2+

            cyclotrimerisation reactions, alkene metathesis, cycloisomerisation processes, etc. These 
            are applied in the synthesis of natural and bioactive compounds or functional molecules de
            polyaromatic compounds.
