Weix Group

Professor Daniel Weix

The Weix group is focused on creating new reactions that solve long-standing challenges in organic synthesis, especially C–C bond formation. They address these challenges by designing new catalytic cycles, studying mechanisms, developing new ways to use abundant substrates, and discovering new catalysts for previously “impossible” classes of reactions, such as cross-electrophile coupling. Projects in the group include a mixture of organometallic synthesis, organic synthesis, mechanistic studies, and methods development. The group is highly collaborative; students can expect to work closely with members of the Weix group as well as academic and industrial researchers all over the world. While researchers in the Weix Group come from a variety of backgrounds, they share a broad enthusiasm for synthetic organic chemistry and organometallic chemistry.
