Carolin Ziebart, ISHHC XV poster prize winner
Catalysis Science & Technology was delighted to sponsor a poster prize at the International Symposium on Relations between Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Catalysis in Berlin in September.
The prize was awarded to Carolin Ziebart from the Leibniz-Institut für Katalysee.V., Rostock, Germany. The winning poster was entitled ‘Homogeneous catalyzed Hydrogenation of Bicarbonates and Carbon Dioxide to Formates, Alkyl Formates and Formamides with a well-defined Iron Catalyst’.
Congratulations to Carolin who works in Ralf Jackstell’s group, on homogenous catalysed carbon dioxide hydrogenation with non-noble metals.
