Bioinspired Confined Catalysis

Caged bioinorganic complexes for efficient and selective catalytic transformations in confined spaces. 

Nature’s catalysts, that are enzymes (and in particular metalloproteins), display fascinating reactivities shapped by billion years of evolutionary history. Our research interest are inspired by these systems with (i) artificial models reproducing their active sites, and (ii) receptors inspired by their tridimensional architectures (supramolecular cages). In this line, the group merges bioinspired catalysis and supramolecular chemistry-based approaches, to develop bioinorganic confined catalysts.
