The Polyzos Research Group is focussed on the discovery of catalytic reactions and the development of enabling technologies to address two frontier challenges in modern chemistry:

Firstly achieving the direct synthesis of structurally diverse and complex organic molecules with the enzyme-like efficiency observed in Nature, and secondly developing efficient, sustainable methods for molecular assembly.

We’re pleased that our latest contribution to palladium and visible light activated C-sp3-H halogenation is accepted in RSC Chemical Science. Congratulations to Milena, Geethi and Tyra!!!

We report a novel and general method for inert C(sp3)-H bond bromination, chlorination and iodination with alkyl halides. This protocol relies on the visible light irradiation of palladacycle intermediates derived from 8-aminoquinoline ligands, commonly used auxiliaries in C-H activation. The Pd(II)...
