He is author more than 135 papers, 15 chapters in chemical books, and 1 patent. He has edited a book about the Pauson-Khand reaction, one about organocatalysis, one about the synthesis of oxindoles and one about spiro compounds. In total he has more than 7200 citations and Idh = 47. He was also editor of Asymmetric Organocatalysis (Ed. Versitas) and is actually editor of Scientific Reports, Molecules and Frontiers in Chemistry.
