Catalysts - creating chemical tools of the future
Read in Aktuel Naturvidenskab about Skrydstrup Group's work on transition metal catalysts as tools for many industries in their need to make better products for a world with growing pains.
Transition metal catalysts are some of the most important tools in the organic chemist's toolbox. In fact 3 times within 10 years (2001 to 2010), research on transition metal catalysts has released a Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
Transition metal catalysts are an essential component of organic chemistry, and organic chemistry is needed to develop plastics, fuels, drugs, rubber, cosmetics, cleaners, dyes, agricultural chemicals and many other things that we as consumers today take for granted.
