Kyritsis Panagiotis

Panayotis Kyritsis is a Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Department of Chemistry. His research focuses on the synthesis and characterization of metal complexes with biological and catalytic applications, particularly those involving transition metals like Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, and Pd. He has an extensive publication record in journals such as Inorganic Chemistry, Dalton Transactions, and Journal of Biological Inorganic Chemistry.

• Education: B.Sc. in Chemistry (University of Athens, 1987), Ph.D. in Chemistry (University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, 1993)
• Research: Metal complex synthesis, electron transfer reactivity, catalytic applications in hydroformylation and C-C coupling reactions, structural/magnetic property correlations

His work bridges inorganic chemistry with biochemical systems, investigating type 1 copper proteins and iron-sulfur clusters. Recent studies include molecular magnetism and electrocatalytic materials for energy applications. Collaborations with institutions like CEA Grenoble and University of Oxford highlight his international research network.

Notable trends in his publications include:

• Systematic exploration of PNP-type diphosphine ligands in catalysis
• Advanced magnetic anisotropy studies using multi-frequency EPR techniques
• Development of heterogenized catalysts for sustainable chemistry
