Our group is interested in several aspects of Au(I) catalysis. A large part of our interestes are directed at enantioselective Au(I) catalysis, in particular with the ligand design and the development of the Tethered Counterion-Directed Catalysis, a new strategy that founds on the ACDC approach. We also have interests in the elucidation of complex mechanisms and understandings of the enantioinduction processes. Finally, we are also undergoing projects in combining several catalysis modes, such as Biocatalysis with Au(I) catalysis or Organocatalysis with Au(I) catalysis.
