Thomas van Leeuwen

Dr. Thomas van Leeuwen is a researcher at the Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ), where he contributes to cutting-edge research in catalysis and synthetic chemistry. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of Groningen and is actively involved in developing novel catalytic systems.

His research focuses on homogeneous catalysis, particularly in photoredox and nickel-mediated transformations. His work bridges organic synthesis with inorganic mechanisms, aiming to enable sustainable and efficient chemical reactions. Key interests include electron transfer processes, radical chemistry, and ligand design in transition metal catalysis.

The publication trend indicates a specialization in photochemical C–C bond formation, particularly using nickel complexes as electron mediators. His work aligns with ICIQ's mission in sustainable catalysis and renewable energy applications.
