GEQO Fellowship for Bas de Bruin
4 November 2024
Bas de Bruin, professor of Bio-Inspired Sustainable Catalysis and director at the Van ‘t Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences, has been elected as a GEQO Fellow (“Mención GEQO”) by the Organometallic Chemistry Group (GEQO) of the Spanish Royal Society of Chemistry.
The fellowship is part of a recently established programme that recognizes distinguished researchers who have made significant contributions to the advancement of organometallic chemistry in Spain through their close collaboration with the GEQO.
Prof. De Bruin’s research focus is on the development of new tools in homogeneous catalysis, using metals in unconventional oxidation states and unconventional ligands, specifically aiming at the development of new catalytic reactions. In recognition of his scientific work, Chemistry Europe also appointed Bas de Bruin as Fellow in 2020.
