Episode 16: Talking to Jacquin October about the applications of Synthesis in Organic Chemistry

Today is a special episode where I catch up with an old Stellenbosch University colleague of mine, Dr Jacquin October. He is a very impressive and dedicated Postdoctoral Researcher at Max Planck Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion. We talked about his move from South Africa to Germany and what that entails. We also discussed the applications and necessity for studies from his previous Ph.D. work concerning Alkylation of amines and the synthesis and characterization of novel rhodium and ruthenium-based iminopyridyl complexes.   You can learn more about his work in the links below:   https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacquin-october-9462b1b1/   https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Jacquin-October   https://www.cec.mpg.de/de/mpi-fuer-chemische-energiekonversion   Thank you for listening!!
