Oriol Planas is a researcher in Organometallic Chemistry, Ligand Design, Catalysis, and Main group chemistry. His work focuses on developing novel catalytic systems for C–H functionalization, particularly through bismuth and cobalt redox catalysis. He has explored mechanisms of aryl–F bond formation, oxidative coupling of arylboronic acids, and the role of high-valent nickel species in aerobic C–C and C–O bond formation. His research also includes the synthesis and reactivity of halide-iron (IV)-oxo compounds and the design of chiral non-natural amino acids. Planas's contributions highlight the importance of ligand design in enhancing catalytic efficiency and selectivity.
