Title: Harnessing Non-Covalent Interactions to Address Selectivity Challenges in Transition Metal Catalysis
Abstract: Non-covalent interactions play a crucial role in all manner of chemical and biological processes. In recent times, the incorporation of non-covalent interactions into the design of small molecule catalysts has revolutionised the field of enantioselective catalysis. Our research is centred around applying catalyst designs incorporating non-covalent interactions to tackle selectivity challenges in synthetic chemistry, concerning both positional selectivity and enantioselectivity.
