We are sad to inform you that Zoltan G. Hajos, a groundbreaking pioneer of #organocatalysis , has passed away. An inspirational chemist and a true gentleman who went the extra mile without any expectation of reward or recognition. Sadly, he ended up getting none.

'Everything is made from a chemical reaction.'

Laureate David MacMillan received the chemistry prize for his work on organocatalysis. In his #NobelPrize lecture today he explained exactly what catalysis is, and why it's important.

'Think about the medicines you take - now we have an alternative way to make them which is less harmful for the environment.'

Peter Somfai of the Nobel Committee on the impact of the 2021 #NobelPrize in Chemistry, awarded for the development of asymmetric organocatalysis.

MacMillan designed some simple molecules that could create iminium ions. One of these proved to be excellent at asymmetric catalysis. The concept for catalysis that he had discovered was named organocatalysis.

Delighted to share that my 11th PhD student Ms. Farha Naaz has submitted her thesis on very demanding research on Nanostructures based Organocatalysis with 5 years of dedicated bench work without compromising quality. Best Wishes Farha.

The discovery – asymmetric organocatalysis – awarded the 2021 chemistry prize has taken molecular construction to an entirely new level. It has not only made chemistry greener, but also made it much easier to produce asymmetric molecules.

كانت من نصيب هذين العالمين لدورهم في تطوير أداة جديدة ومبتكرة لبناء الجزيئات وهي 'التحفيز العضوي الغير متماثل asymmetric organocatalysis' والتي ستساهم بشكل بارع في تطوير صناعة الأدوية والمستحضرات الصيدلانية ..

Good Afternoon Everyone😀I'm glad to present you a new protocol for a Michael addition, without free acetaldehyde❌. In Carlone Research Group we performed this reaction in CHCl₃ and then on H₂O. Valeria Nori Arianna Sinibaldi Royal Society of Chemistry #RSCCat #RSCPoster #organocatalysis #DoE

Happy birthday to our 2021 chemistry laureate Benjamin List who turns 54 today!

Here you can see List with his #NobelPrize medal that he received 'for the development of asymmetric organocatalysis.'

This is just me with my PhD advisor. Oh, by the way, he just got this little award today, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2021.
I couldn't be any more proud of working here and call this guy my 'Doktorvater'.
