This book collates, in fifteen chapters, the extended abstracts of the Ph.D. theses defended by the Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) who participated in the Innovative Training Network (ITN) entitled “Coordination Chemistry Inspires Molecular Catalysis” (CCIMC), which was a Network of the “European Joint Doctorate” (EJD) type. This project was funded by the the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme (Marie Skłodowska‐Curie grant agreement No 860322) and was active between March 1st, 2020 and February 29th, 2024. The main aim of the CCIMC project was the ESRs’ training on the basis of collaborative research projects and of an intense programme of training, comprising theoretical courses, tutorials, workshops, graded research reports, and the active participation of the ESRs in outreach and dissemination activities, as well as organizational efforts. Each ESR carried out his/her research jointly between two groups in two different research institutes (the Beneficiary Institutions) located in two different European countries. In addition, each ESR also received secondment research training in an industrial environment in one of the Partner Institutions (three months in most cases). At the end of their theses, the ESRs received a double or joint Doctorate Diploma on the basis of a bilateral agreement from the two academic institutions. The research focus of the project was based on the development of catalytic processes, inspired by fundamental work in coordination chemistry. The various activities were classified in four work packages, covering the design and synthesis of innovative ligands, pre‐catalyst development, new catalytic reactions and their mechanism, and the implementation of catalytic processes.
