The Green Chemistry and Catalysis Group at Memorial University was established in September 2005. It consists of researchers under the supervision of Dr. Fran Kerton and Dr. Chris Kozak. Research areas currently under investigation include: Transformations of bio-sourced molecules using alternative solvents and catalysts; New iron based catalyst systems; Use of carbon dioxide as a solvent and as a reagent; Recyclable catalyst systems.

The group currently (Winter 2012) consists of fourteen graduate students (Six Canadian, Three Chinese, One Nigerian, One Jordanian/Palestinian, One Saudi, One Hungarian and One Libyan) and three undergraduates (Three Honours students)
Our main laboratories were extensively refurbished and new instrumentation acquired during the past three years. More photos will be available soon, or come and visit us!
