Project title: Anionic, cationic and mesoionic analogues of N-heterocyclic carbenes in homogenous catalysis
Project Description: The main goal of this research project is a systematic study of selected, non-standard carbenes and their potential use in homogenous chemical catalysts directed toward better understanding of the fundamental aspects of their action. The main part of this project consists of the design and modelling of new anionic, cationic and mesoionic N-heterocyclic carbene derivatives, which can be used as transition metal complexing agents to produce new catalysts. We will focus on ruthenium-based complexes as candidates for efficient metathesis, hydrogenation, transfer hydrogenation and hydrosilylation catalytic reactions. For these complexes we will computationally explore all possible catalytic reactions paths and degradation paths and select the best candidates for efficient catalysts for the synthesis.
Key responsibilities include:
1. Design and modelling of electronic properties of carbenes and transition metal complexes
2. Analysis of the obtained data
3. Active participation in lab meetings, scientific seminars and international conferences.
4. Participation in the data preparation and writing of manuscripts.
Profile of candidates/requirements:
1. Enrolled as at least 4th year student of chemistry or related discipline
2. Willing to spend 10-15 hours a week (flexible hours) to do fun projects
3. With good oral/written communication skills in English
4. Although not required, any previous experience in molecular modelling would be welcome
Required documents:
1. CV and cover letter
We offer:
1. An opportunity to participate in a multidisciplinary project in one of the best scientific institutions in Poland
2. Stimulating, young and friendly work environment
3. Access to high-end computing equipment (CPU clusters)
