2022

Room: Grand Lecture Hall
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]
The Board of Trustees of the Ernst Haage Foundation has chosen two national award winners this year: Jun.-Prof. Dr. Eva Blasco is Junior Professor at the Organic Chemistry Institute and Centre for Advanced Materials at the University of Heidelberg since October 2020 and has stood out for her outstanding scientific achievements in the field of design and synthesis of new polymer-based functional materials for applications in 3D and 4D printing. Dr. Sabine Richert is Emmy Noether Research Group Leader at the Institute of Physical Chemistry at the University of Freiburg and is honored for her extraordinary contributions in the field of spin information transfer and information storage in photo-generated multi-spin systems designed for molecular spintronics applications.

Karl-Ziegler Lecture 2022 - Main Lecture and Award Ceremony

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.
