2022

After the lecture, we want to celebrate together with you around the small lecture hall at Kofo. We will provide food (Winter BBQ, also with many vegetarian/vegan options) and drinks (e.g. mulled wine or our traditional Feuerzangenbowle). There will also be a raffle with the chance to win some small prices.The participation to the lecture is open to everyone, to join the party afterwards, you will need to buy a ticket for 10€ beforehand, so we can better calculate the needed amount of food and drinks.You can get the tickets until December 2nd from:Kofo: Sebastian Brunen (Office 801, Tel.: 2440) [more]

8th ORCA USER Meeting

ORCA - Environmental effects, from solids to biology
The meeting will take place as a ZOOM webinar and you don't need to apply or register for participation. We will post the link for the webinar the day before the meeting in the ORCA forum. Note that we have two poster sessions in which you have the chance to present and discuss your projects with the community and the developers. Send us your poster abstract to: orca-cfp@kofo.mpg.de, deadline November 27th ). [more]

Karl-Ziegler Gastprofessur - Hauptvorlesung und Preisverleihung

Design and development of sustainable, environmentally benign catalytic reactions for organic synthesis and for energy related processes are major goals of current catalysis. We have developed new efficient, environmentally benign reactions catalyzed by pincer-type transition metal complexes, including complexes of base metals. Several of these reactions either produce hydrogen gas or consume it. Metal-complex catalyzed reactions, in which most of the catalytic activity is ligand-based, were also developed. Various synthetic and energy-relaed applications based on these catalytic reactions, such as oxidation of organic compounds using water as oxidant liberating H2, and new liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs), will be described.
