Open Positions

Currently we are heavily engaged in biomimetic chemistry, photosynthesis, fundamentals of electron transfer reactions, novel organometallic reactions, homogeneous catalysis with transition metal complexes, transition metal complex chromophores for dye-sensitized solar cells and light-emitting electrochemical cells and transition metal complexes in sensor applications.

Current research themes include:

• fundamental photosynthesis research: molecular wires (metallocenes), molecular light harvesting systems (porphyrins), molecular catalysts with appended chromophores (ruthenium complexes) and their wiring to complex systems
• design, synthesis and optimisation of molecular components for dye-sensitized solar cells and light-emitting electrochemical cells
• design, synthesis and optimisation of molecular luminescent complexes (preferred of 3d metal ions)
• biomimetic research: ammonia synthesis (nitrogenase models), oxygen atom transfer (oxotransferase models)
• design, synthesis and characterisation of complex systems with redoxactive metal centres and non-innocent ligands
