Troels Skrydstrup has a keen interest in the application of transition metal catalysis in organic synthesis. Recent efforts have been focused on providing viable solutions for the production and application of low molecular weight gases in transition metal catalysis with applications for pharmaceutical synthesis and isotope labeling. Furthermore, his group has recently commenced work on the development of selective transformations with CO2. He currently has over 260 publications (H-index of 54, approx. 9000 citations) of which many are in ”high impact” international chemistry journals including the Journal of the American Chemical Society, Angewandte Chemie International Edition, and Nature Communications. Several papers are within the 1% most cited in the field of Chemistry since their publication.
