Research Areas

The main focus of the Cueny group is organometallic chemistry and catalysis. Specifically, we are interested in solving challenges in sustainable chemistry by utilizing waste products of society (waste plastic and CO2) as the building blocks for the synthesis of commodity chemicals and novel materials. To accomplish these goals, the Cueny group will leverage cooperative catalytic strategies — transmetallation, metal-ligand cooperativity, and bimetallic complexes — to simultaneously enhance the selectivity and reactivity in these chemical transformations.

The Cueny group seeks excited and passionate students to pursue these research directions. However, the Cueny lab is an environment that both welcomes and encourages students to explore new research ideas and directions.
