Spreading the word that mechanochemistry is great for metal catalyzed cross-couplings and carbonylations at 77. Meeting of chemists in High Tatras

I am proud to present three new doctors from our group: Dr. Henrich Szabados, Dr. Barbora Zahradnikova, and Dr. Klara Stankovianska. @comeniusuni.bsky.social

Our newest example of catalytic mechanochemistry - atroposelective organocatalytic synthesis of 1,2'-binaphthalene-3'-carbaldehydes under mechanochemical conditions - now published in RSC Mechanochemistry @comeniusuni.bsky.social, with Henrich Szabados doi.org/10.1039/D5MR...

I always love returning to Switzerland. This time to attend #EuCOMC2025 in Bern and speak about mechanochemical cross-couplings.

Cordial congratulations to our PhD student Zuzana Mravíková for receiving Dean´s award for the best publication of PhD students for her work published in ChemSusChem 2025, 18, e202402599 (lnkd.in/eWDu5ppB)

I cordially welcome our new postdoc, Dr. Suman Yadav, have a good time in research group.
