Streuff Group

Overview of the research in Streuff's group. In the middle are the symbols of the catalysts titanium and zirconium. Around these are two arrows that symbolise the catalytic cycle as well as structural formulas for different reactants and products that the research group is working on.

Catalysis, synthesis, organometallics and mechanisms

Our research interests span a wide variety of topics within the area of transition metal catalysis, with current focus on titanium and zirconium catalyzed reactions. We are currently working on new methods for reductive bond couplings and cleavage reactions, the design of new catalysts, and the application of our methods in organic synthesis. In parallel, we are taking a deep look into the reaction mechanisms of the new transformations with the goal to understand their reactivity and selectivity.
