Preferring postcards, but we're also on social media. Passionate about catalysis for organic chemistry and funky molecules @TU Chemnitz (Germany).
What a way to kick off the fall term! We had the pleasure of hosting John Molloy from MPI Golm at TU Chemnitz this week. Truly inspiring chemistry revolving around Boron-containing molecules and radicals coming out of his lab.
Found the time for a sunset picture with Kalle as well...

This year‘s FuMo took place in the mountains! 🏔️ Together with @ivanafleischer.bsky.social, @teichertlab.bsky.social, @breugstlab.bsky.social & @kretschmerlab.bsky.social we spent four days in Obergurgl, full of interesting scientific talks, inspiring discussions and enjoying the Tyrolian nature.

Proud to share a true science story. We got inspired by our friends from the Dielmann lab in Innsbruck and joining the pieces together in a new NHC ligand has opened up copper hydride chemistry at low H2 pressure 🎈 for the first time. And new reactivity on top:

Thinking back to the #StöckhardtLecture a couple of weeks back. I think it is great not only for students but also for the researchers to have an truely inspiring talk. This one by Ben Feringa really stood out and it certainly filled up our "science enthusiasm battery".
