2018
December
This one goes out to our colleagues and loved ones around the globe: We wish you all the best for a peaceful holiday season. Merry Christmas!
ISP 4.0! Our student practical "Integrated synthesis" (B.Sc) wins a special funding to support innovative approaches for teaching. Students learn to work target-oriented and independently. Digital media is cross-linked with classical techniques. The project will be supervised by a researcher starting from April 2019.
Top tier! The prestiguous Leiden Ranking puts the University of Hamburg into the top flight among German universities. This ranking is based on the impact of scientific publications and especially prioritizes highly cited research. Well done, MIN"AT"UHH!
Boom! Our recent article about (de)hydrogenation & transferhydrogenation reactions with amine-borane was highlighted as hot paper and with the cover picture. Have a look here!
Lights on! Our present institutional journal is decorated with Patrick's flow reactor and features an interview with our boss. Have a look here!
From stochiometric reductions to catalytic applications! Our dear colleague Robert Wolf from Regensburg visits us and gives a lecture about P4 activation.
November
A new kid on the block: Luana leaves behind her Parmesan vita to become a Hamburg deern. She will take up work in the area of photochemistry. Welcome aboard!
Conference time! Patrick visits Eindhoven (NL) for the Photo4Future conference and comes home with the RSC Reaction Chemistry & Engineering poster award in his pocket. Congrats!
Well done! Sebastian publishes about amine-borane dehydrogenation and transfer-hydrogenation reactions catalyzed by cobaltates. Big thanks go to our collabs from the Wolf group! Have a look here!
October
Regiocontrol meets Stereoselectivity! Guojiao and Uttam publish their recent work about cobalt-catalyzed hydrosilylation of alkynes. Have a look here!
A warm welcome goes to Andrej who joins us for his PhD studies!
September
It's a good feeling, beeing back! Axel, Dieter and Sebastian attend the meeting of the Inorganic Division of the German Chemical Society in Regensburg. Solid-state inorganic and molecular inorganic chemistry team up to create their first united meeting! Hence, Axel's lecture at the interface of both fields was well received.
A warm welcome goes to our new group member Kevin who joins us for his master thesis!
Big city beats! Axel, Bernhard and Josef travel to Berlin for the German Conference of Organic Chemistry (ORCHEM). Axel holds a plenary lecture, whereas Bernhard and Josef present posters.
Conference time! Dieter, Bernhard and Sebastian visit Braunschweig for the Northerngerman inorganic PhD student colloquia. Bernhard presented a poster and Sebastian gave a talk. We are still fed up with the amazing chemistry and the magnificient conference dinner in the historical town hall.
July
Social time! The group enjoys a wonderful bike tour aroundside the river Elbe.
A warm welcome goes to our new group members Pradip and Javier!
June
Well done! Denis and Guojiao pulish a review about recent developments in the field of aromatic substitutions of arenediazonium salts. Have a look here!
Iron it out! Guojiao publishes a News & Views article about iron-catalyzed Suzuki biaryl couplings in Nature Catalysis. Have a look here!
May
Sunny! Patrick and Raul publish a minireview about the Schenck ene reaction. Have a look here!
Spicy! The group has the pleasure to get an introduction to authentic chinese food culture. Big thanks go to Guojiao!
April
Well done! Efrain publishes about cobalt nanoparticles in hydrogenation reactions. Big thanks go to our collabs from the Wolf group. Have a look here!
Time to say goodbye! After a few exhausting weeks our movement has almost finished. We are very excited to call Hamburg our new home! Beside our renovated labs we are gifted with a view from our labs to the Elbphilharmonie.
Some impressions about our movement: Sebastian in his natural habitat!
Our hard working boss!
Luckily our babies have safely arrived at their new destination, ready for exciting chemistry!
March
Hurray! Our paper about alkene hydrogenation by soluble Iron nanocluster cluster catalysts was highlighted in this year's inorganic trend report in Nachr. Chem. Have a look here!
February
Having six with manganese! Uttam and Efrain publish about a manganese nanosheet and related catalysis. Big thanks go to our collabs from the Meyer group. Have a look here!
Hurray! Our recent paper about olefin-stabilized cobalt nanoparticles for hydrogenations was highlighted as hot paper. Have a look here!
January
Boom! Angewandte Chemie highlighted our recent paper with a frontispiece. Have a look here!
Well done! Guojiao published his paper about Stereoselective Cobalt-Catalyzed Halofluoroalkylation of Alkynes. Have a look here!
The New Year brings good news! Sebastian's paper about Olefin-Stabilized Cobalt Nanoparticles for C=C, C=O, and C=N Hydrogenations was published. Big thanks go to our collabs from the Zweck group. Have a look here!
