Hydroamination reactions catalyzed by mxenes and zeolites will be described, consisting in the addition of an N-H bond of an amine across a carbon-carbon multiple bond of an alkene, alkyne, diene, or allene. The development of catalysts for hydroamination is an active area of current research.
Biography
German Sastre is Research Scientist at ITQ (Valencia). He made a postdoc at The Royal Institution of Great Britain with Sir Richard Catlow in 1995-1996. Since then, in ITQ, he employs computational chemistry methods to simulate synthesis of zeolites, catalytic and adsorption/diffusion processes, and physico-chemical properties of microporous materials (zeolites and metal-organic frameworks) and new families of materials such as Mxenes using big-data screening algorithms. He is, since 2013, member of the Structure Commission of the International Zeolite Association, and has served as scientific chair and member of research projects funding panels for FWO, NCN, GACR, and EPSRC among others.
