Welcome to the Prokopchuk group homepage! We are a team that is passionate about synthesis, ligand design, organometallic chemistry, and homogeneous catalysis. We focus on using Earth-abundant transition metals (Mn, Fe, Co, Ni) to uncover fundamental information about chemical fuel synthesis, reaction mechanisms, and electrically-driven catalytic transformations.
