ADVANCING GOLD CATALYSIS (CATGOLD)

Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Feb 28, 2018,

We plan to chase new goals by exploring the limits of gold chemistry and organic synthesis. A major goal is to promote copper to the level of gold as the catalyst of choice for the activation of alkynes under homogeneous conditions. Another major goal is to develop enantioselective reactions based on a new chiral catalyst design to overcome the inherent limitations of the linear coordination of d1 ...

Functionalized Magnetic Nanoparticles and their Application in Chemistry and Biomedicine (MAG(NET)ICFUN)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2017,

Functionalized magnetic nanoparticles are proposed as smart platforms for applications in chemistry - emphasizing catalysis -, environmental chemistry - emphasizing catalytic detoxification, or biomedicine - emphasizing delivery of biomolecules and drugs. The magnetic properties of the entities offer an additional dimension for their manipulation by external magnetic fields, e.g. for flow reactors ...

Building-up Chemical Complexity into Multifunctional Molecule-based Hybrid Materials (CHEMCOMP)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

"Molecular sciences offer unparalleled opportunities for the development of tailor-made materials. By chemical design, molecules with the desired features can be prepared and incorporated into hybrid systems to yield molecule-based materials with novel chemical and/or physical properties. The CHEMCOMP project aims to develop new hybrid materials targeting the study of new physical phenomena that h ...

Chasing a Fundamental Challenge in Catalysis: A Combined Cleavage of Carbon-Carbon Bonds and Carbon Dioxide for Preparing Functionalized Molecules (FunCBonds)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2016,

FunCBonds offers a novel perspective to relevant scientific synthetic problems via a synergistic dual catalytic activation of carbon-carbon bonds and CO2, a topic of major interest not only for basic research science but also from an industrial and social point of view. As the use of alternative feedstocks such as CO2 is still one of the most fundamental gaps in catalytic technologies, I believe t ...

Exploring Chemical Reactivity with Organocatalysis (ORGA-NAUT)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

"The proposed research seeks to redefine the synthetic potential of a fundamental organic transformation: the functionalisation of carbonyl compounds. Today, synthetic chemists can address even the most daunting of challenges connected with the asymmetric catalytic functionalisation of carbonyl compounds at their alpha and beta positions. In contrast, there are no known general strategies for the ...

Biomass to chemicals: Catalysis design from first principles for a sustainable chemical industry (BIO2CHEM-D)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

The use of renewable feedstocks by the chemical industry is fundamental due to both the depletion of fossilresources and the increasing pressure of environmental concerns. Biomass can act as a sustainable source oforganic industrial chemicals; however, the establishment of a renewable chemical industry that iseconomically competitive with the present oil-based one requires the development of new p ...

A new vision on nanocatalysts (NANOSONWINGS)

Start date: Apr 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2015,

In recent years it has been recognized that small metal nanoparticles hold the promise that their catalytic properties may be completely different from those of their bulk analogs or their monometallic complexes. Entirely new chemical conversions may be expected because of their shape and thermodynamic properties. So far, this promise has not led to important breakthroughs, as most findings can be ...

Advanced Design and Industrialization of Organic Sensitizers without Ruthenium for Dye Sensitised Solar cells (ADIOS-RU)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2014,

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) are a promising new generation of photovoltaic which have relatively high performance compared to silicon-based solar cells in many non-ideal light environments such as dim, diffuse and indoor light. They are on the verge of wide-scale commercialization but still face challenging issues to solve on long-term stability, materials cost and ability to recycle. Many o ...
