Recent advances in the application of heterogeneous catalysis combined with microwave
irradiation in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds are reviewed. While a detailed …

The structure sensitivity of enantioselective hydrogenations on chirally modified metals was
investigated using Pt nanoparticles of different shapes. All three samples had an average …

Heterocycles of synthetic and natural origin are a well-established class of compounds
representing a broad range of organic molecules that constitute over 60% of drugs and …

The manuscript gives an overview mainly on the results performed at the Department of
