Welcome to our research group!
We are based at the Institute of Inorganic Chemistry, University of Heidelberg (Germany), and at the Université de Rennes (France). Our research explores how ligands can actively participate in the redox processes governing chemical reactions. We aim to unlock new ways of activating molecules that are usually unreactive, facilitating the design more energy-efficient catalysts.
Our approach focuses on combining synthesis, spectroscopy and computational chemisty to establish structure–activity relationships that guide us toward the rational design of catalysts based on open-shell transition metals (focus on Fe and Co).
We are always excited to welcome new colleagues who share our curiosity for chemistry and problem-solving. If you are motivated, enjoy synthesis, and want to explore the frontiers of molecular reactivity, we would love to hear from you — please see the Contact section for details.
We are grateful for support from the following organisations and foundations.
