On the 13 — 17 of March, Frederik Lamati, the leading scientist, director of the research center for studying bioobjects of the University of Montpellier (France), head of the department of “Green Chemistry” at IBMM, visited RUDN University United Institute for Chemical Research. Professor F. Lamati delivered a lecture for students and young scientists and professors: “Easy, easy: use mechanical force to make organometallics”. This lecture also attended scientists from the A.N. Nesmeyanov Institute of Organoelement Compounds of Russian Academy of Sciences (INEOS RAS).
Professor F. Lamati told about topical problems in the field of sustainable chemical synthesis, including the use of organic solvents. These solvents are very often toxic and can create serious damage to the environment. At present, one of the solutions to this problem has been the reuse of these solvents as a fuel. Currently, a major study is underway to find alternative uses for these organic solvents. In this context, a scientific group headed by Professor F. Lamati developed a complex approach for carrying out reactions using mechanochemistry without the use of solvents. Mechanochemical activation can be a useful tool in the organometallic synthesis. This method, in addition to the traditional synthetic approach, can accelerate the course of reactions and facilitate the preparation of the original molecules. The lecture also presented examples of the preparation of N-heterocyclic carbene complexes.
October 6, the Nobel Committee announced the 2021 Nobel Prize Winners in Chemistry. They were scientists Benjamin List (Germany) and David Macmillan (USA) for new methods of molecular synthesis. RUDN chemists know Professor Liszt personally — in 2019, the researcher came to participate in the university conference.
The RUDN University Academic Council Commission on Foreign Languages held its June research seminar in cooperation with international community of language teachers who became part of the international pro-bono project on challenges and solutions to foreign languages training during COVID-19.
Mathematics, chemistry, physics, medicine and modern languages - there are five priority areas of development at RUDN University along the path of a research university. RUDN University has a developed laboratory base, it encourages publication activity, forms teams of scientists and educates talented young researchers.
