Invited lecture at the 25th International Conference on Phosphorus Chemistry – Montpellier

Dr. Erika Bálint was invited to give a lecture at the 25th International Conference on Phosphorus Chemistry (ICPC-25), held in Montpellier, France on 5–8 July 2026.

Her lecture presented our group's latest results in phosphorus chemistry under the title "Green chemistry inspired synthesis of organophosphorus compounds: multicomponent reactions, microwave and flow chemistry", co-authored by Erika Bálint, Bettina Rávai, Viktória Gerő and Áron Soma Németh.

Viktória Gerő, a student of our research group, also represented the group with a poster presentation entitled "Sustainable Telescoped Synthesis of Triazolyl Phosphoramidates and Phosphineamides".

PhD dissertation defended with summa cum laude distinction

Bettina Rávai, a PhD student of our research group, successfully defended her doctoral dissertation at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics in June 2026, graduating with a summa cum laude distinction. 🎓

The dissertation was entitled "N-Heterocycles Containing Phosphonate or Phosphine Oxide Moiety and Cyclodextrin-Based Supramolecular Systems: Synthesis and Formulation". The work presents the synthesis of N-heterocycles bearing a phosphonate or phosphine oxide moiety, as well as the formulation of cyclodextrin-based supramolecular systems.

Sincere thanks go to her supervisors — Dr. Erika Bálint (BME Faculty of Chemical Technology and Biotechnology), Dr. Levente Szőcs and Dr. István Puskás (CycloLab Ltd.) — for their guidance and continuous support, and to everyone who contributed to this achievement through collaboration or encouragement.

2nd Prize at the 4th EELISA Scientific Student Competition – Madrid

Viktória Gerő, an MSc student of our research group, participated in the 4th EELISA Scientific Student Competition hosted by the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. Her presentation in the Chemical and Bioengineering 1 section marked Viktória's first independent international conference appearance — and she was awarded 2nd prize by the jury! 🥈

Sincere gratitude goes to Dr. Erika Bálint for her guidance and continuous support, and to the Budapest University of Technology and Economics and EELISA European University for providing this inspiring international opportunity.

New paper published in ChemSusChem

Our latest paper published in ChemSusChem presents a flow-chemical synthesis of triazolyl phosphoramidates and phosphinamides using γ-valerolactone as a green solvent in a telescoped strategy.

New paper published in ACS Omega

This paper published in ACS Omega investigates inclusion complex formation of the antidepressant citalopram with β-cyclodextrin, mono-subetadex and subetadex, characterising the resulting complexes using various physicochemical methods.
