Our group is focusing on the progress of the homogeneous organometallic catalysis system where attached ligand plays a significant role in the small molecule and/or substrate activation. The development of a sustainable working platform is the main target where the readily available substrates are converted to useful value-added chemicals by a catalytic process. The atom economic factor of a reaction and the energy-efficient techniques are the pillars of these kinds of research projects. We are also working on renewable fuels which are the major priorities at the current time. The development of chemical reactions to generate energy carriers or fuels from renewable sources is targeted where appropriate organometallic compounds are used for catalytic chemical transformations.
