Welcome to the Prokopchuk group homepage! We are a research 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.

Please see the Research page for information about the group’s current interests.
