Sometimes inspiration just hits you.
Dr. Nikolay Gerasimchuk went to Portugal for a seminar and a conference he presented at.
He came back with new collaborators from the University of Lisboa, who performed catalytic studies of new compounds earlier obtained in his research lab in Springfield.
Upon return from Portugal, Gerasimchuk spent three months in a monastery in Burjassot, Spain, to write “Zn-complex that showed catalytic activity in trans-esterification reactions.”
His paper is featured in the Americal Chemical Society journal, Inorganic Chemistry.
Congratulations Dr. Gerasimchuk!
