Sven Tobisch

Dr. Sven Tobisch is an Honorary Research Fellow at the School of Chemistry, University of St Andrews. His research focuses on computational studies of transition metal-catalyzed organic reactions, particularly hydroamination/cyclisation processes using zirconium and lanthanide complexes. He investigates reaction mechanisms, selectivity, and catalytic pathways through advanced computational chemistry methods.

Key research areas include transition metal catalysis, organometallic reaction mechanisms, and the development of computational models to understand complex catalytic cycles. His work bridges theoretical predictions with experimental outcomes in organic synthesis.

Publications emphasize mechanistic insights into aminoallene and aminodiene cyclisations, exploring alternative reaction pathways such as sigma-bond insertion versus cycloaddition routes. Findings contribute to designing more efficient and selective catalytic systems.
