Marcel Swart

Prof. dr. Marcel Swart is a Professor at the University of Groningen, affiliated with the Faculty of Science and Engineering and the Molecular Inorganic Chemistry department within the Stratingh Institute of Chemistry. His research focuses on computational chemistry applications in inorganic and bioinorganic systems, particularly in catalysis, transition metal reactions, and polarizability modeling.

Research Interests:

• Catalysis of hydrogen peroxide reactions
• Computational modeling of transition metal complexes
• Spin state and redox activity analysis
• QM/MM methods for solvent effects
• High-valent metal-oxo species
• Non-redox innocent ligand behavior

Recent Publications show strong emphasis on iron and manganese catalytic systems, density functional theory applications, and hydrogen atom transfer mechanisms across both organic and biological contexts.
