Research interests

Synthesis and characterization of zeolites and mesoporous molecular sieves and their application in adsorption and catalysis centered on petrochemical applications and synthesis of fine chemicals. The main task is to understand the general relationship among the structure of molecular sieve catalysts, structure and properties of catalytically active sites and conversion and selectivity in transformations of aromatic hydrocarbons, acylation reactions, oxidations with hydrogen peroxide, metathesis of olefins and unsaturated esters or ethers, and reactions leading to formations of new C-C bonds.
Synthesis and structural identification of organometallic compounds, metallocene and non-metallocene complexes of early transition metals, acting as selective "single site" catalysts and determination of their function in stereoselective polymerization and oligomerization of olefins and acetylenes. The influence of electronic and steric effects functional groups on structure and properties of organometallic complexes.
