Viktor Iaroshenko

Viktor Iaroshenko, PhD (Associate Professor) at Matej Bel University, is a leading researcher in organic chemistry with a focus on mechanochemistry, fluorine/phosphorus chemistry, and sustainable synthesis. He teaches Organic Chemistry and Catalysis & Sustainability courses.

His research spans

• C-H Functionalization
• Photoredox Catalysis
• Domino Reactions
• Green Chemistry
• Design of Fluorinated Bioactives

Recent publications highlight mechanochemical methods for trifluoromethylation, cross-coupling, and amide/sulfonamide transformations, often leveraging nanocellulose as eco-friendly reaction media. Collaborative works with Satenik Mkrtchyan and Michał Jakubczyk emphasize sustainable catalysis.

Grants include

• Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation (2023)
• APVV-21-0362 (2022–2025)
• NCN-POLONEZ 2 Fellowship (2016–2019)

He serves as referee for journals like J. Org. Chem. and guest editor for Molecules special issues on organofluorine and cross-coupling reactions.
