(PhysOrg.com) -- The development of environmentally friendly and efficient catalysts is a major challenge in the field of chemical research, with the focus now being placed on the search for inexpensive metal catalysts. At the Leibniz Institute for Catalysis (LIKAT) in Rostock, Matthias Beller, the first recipient of the newly launched European Sustainable Chemistry Award, and his group investigate many aspects of applied homogeneous catalysis and some of his latest results on iron catalysis are highlighted on the cover of a recent issue of Chemistry -- A European Journal.
