Benjamin List, Director at the Max Planck Institute for Coal Research - neighbouring institute of the MPI CEC at the Mülheim Chemistry Campus - , together with David W.C. MacMillan from Princeton University, will receive the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2021.
The scientists are being honoured for their work on asymmetric catalysis, in which they discovered, among other things, that small organic molecules also mediate chemical reactions.
We sincerely congratulate Benjamin List and David W.C. MaMillan and are very happy for the two researchers!
