Recyclable Homogeneous Catalysisย uses physical and chemical engineering methods specifically designed for high recoverability. Some of the recovery methods include the use of multi-phasic solvent systems, distillation, and extractions. In addition, by using careful catalyst design, the active metal center can be embedded onto a solid support or polymer to increase recoverability. The catalysts discussed in this primer are used in a range of reactions such as polymerization, CO2ย capture, and amination.

Andrew K. Kingย graduated in 2014 from the University of Warwick with an M.Chem in Chemistry with professional experience. He then undertook his doctoral studies at the University of Bath (2018). After completing his Ph.D., he moved to the US as a postdoctoral researcher, initially at Texas Tech University (2020-2021), before moving to the University of California, Merced, in the Fall of 2021. Kingโs research interests include catalysis using first-row transition metals, homogeneous catalysis, organometallic chemistry, main group chemistry, and green chemistry. He is currently working on using recyclable homogeneous catalysts and their applications in organic synthesis.
Michael Findlaterย graduated in 2003 from the University of Strathclyde with a BSc. Hons. in Chemistry before continuing his doctoral studies at the University of Texas at Austin (2008). For three years (2008-2011), he was a postdoctoral scholar at the University of North Carolina. His first independent position at Texas Tech University began in Fall of 2011 in the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry. He was awarded tenure and promotion to associate professor in 2017. In the summer of 2021, he accepted a new position at the University of California, Merced, with a promotion to full professor. Michaelโs research interests include catalysis using earth-abundant metal elements, electrosynthesis, electrocatalysis, and organometallic chemistry. Recently, the use of recyclable homogeneous catalysts has become a focus of his research group.
