ABOUT US
Work within the Davies Group draws upon an established knowledge of asymmetric synthesis and catalysis to discover and develop novel methodologies -- with the ultimate goal of defining enabling technologies for the chemical community.
The Davies group is a member of the Beyond CCF: Catalysis Innovation Consortium and the NSF Center for Selective C–H Functionalization, a research collaborative that aims to develop this emerging technology into a mainstream science.

Hexafluoroisopropanol Solvent Effects on Enantioselectivity of Dirhodium Tetracarboxylate-Catalyzed Cyclopropanation
Congratulations to Kristin Shimabukuro, Jack Sharland, and Evan A. Weingarten on their collabroation with the Peng group at University of Pittsburgh in JACS.! Read all about it at https://doi.org/10.1021/jacs.5c03007
MORE INFO
Dirhodium catalysts lie at the heart of the research within the Davies group. Their unique properties allow the modular construction of catalysts that can be fine tuned in their steric, electronic, and stereochemical properties. Browse our research pages to discover the powerful transformations that we have discovered, allowing the construction of high value scaffolds from simple chemicals.
