Nominator's project description
| Professor Jacobsen is internationally known for the discovery of practical catalytic reactions and for defining several key principles in catalysis. Based on deep mechanistic understanding, his group developed several new classes of chiral catalysts, and several of these have found widespread application in industry and academia. In Germany, Professor Jacobsen continues his research on the exploration of selective catalytic methods. |
