Catalysis accelerates chemical reactions, reduces energy cost, and minimizes pollution. Even if catalysis is at the core of green chemistry, catalysts are often made from polluting, expensive and toxic metals. This research program aims at designing and developing cheap and environmentally benign metal-free catalysts based on Lewis acid/Lewis base cooperativity for industrially relevant applications. Some of the desired transformations include the reduction of carbon dioxide into energy vectors, the construction of chemical building blocks for the pharmaceutical and organic electronic industries through C-H bond activation, and the generation of valuable chemicals from cheap natural resources.

催化剂加速化学反应，降低能源成本，并最大限度地减少污染。即使催化是绿色化学的核心，但催化剂通常是由污染、昂贵和有毒的金属制成的。该研究计划旨在设计和开发基于刘易斯酸/刘易斯碱协同效应的廉价和环境友好的无金属催化剂，用于工业相关应用。一些期望的转化包括将二氧化碳还原为能量载体，通过C-H键活化为制药和有机电子工业构建化学构件，以及从廉价的自然资源中产生有价值的化学品。
