Daniel Mindiola Elected GEQO Fellow

Daniel Mindiola, Brush Family Professor of Chemistry, has been elected as a GEQO Fellow (“Mención GEQO”). The Organometallic Chemistry Group of the Spanish Royal Society of Chemistry (GEQO) recently established a Fellows Program aimed at recognizing distinguished researchers who have made significant contributions to the advancement of organometallic chemistry in Spain through their close collaboration with the GEQO.
 
Mindiola’s research focuses on the design and assembly of reactive metal complexes, in particular, the application of Earth-abundant transition metals in transformations such as the selective activation of carbon-hydrogen bonds. He is also interested in novel catalytic processes mediated by reactive complexes containing metal-ligand multiple bonds and their involvement in important reactions (reactions that are non-combustion based) with natural resources such as natural gas and shale gas.
 
He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and has been Associate Editor for the ACS journal Organometallics since 2014. During his career, he has given more than 200 lectures and published more than 160 papers in peer-reviewed journals.
