Arfvedson Schlenk Award
Professor Vito Capriati is being honoured for his pioneering contributions to lithium chemistry. Particular recognition is given to his visionary work on organolithium compounds and their use in unconventional, sustainable solvents.
His fundamental studies of reactions “in water” and in deep eutectic solvents have opened up new avenues for more environmentally friendly synthesis and have made a decisive contribution to advancing the chemistry of highly reactive organolithium compounds. Through his work on lithium carbenoids, Professor Capriati has also pushed back the boundaries of modern organic synthesis and made a sustainable contribution to the chemical sciences.
Here you will find the current call for proposals for the 2025 Arfvedson–Schlenk Prize.
Application and nomination deadline: 1 March 2025.
