Novel ligand systems
The new systems are expected to affect catalytic activity and to stabilise reactive particles.
Professor Viktoria Däschlein-Gessner is developing new ligand systems. These chemical systems bind to metals in order to, for instance, influence the activity of catalysts or stabilise reactive particles. With experiments and computer-based studies, her team will build new systems that have an electron-rich carbon atom at the centre. This should make it possible to control the properties and reactivity of the bounded atoms and groups in a targeted manner.
The ERC Starting Grant of Viktoria Däschlein-Gessner is endowed with 1.5 million euros. The project starts in 2016.
