/ homogeneous catalysis / asymmetric catalysis / organocatalysis / photocatalysis
Chemical photocatalysts for selective endothermic or kinetically hindered organic reactions are developed. The key parameters of their design and function are described. This will pave the way to a broader use of solar energy for chemical transformations.
Organocatalysis and homogeneous transition metal catalysis are used for the synthesis of natural products and drugs.

/ heterogeneous catalysis / polymerization catalysis
The Institute of Polymer Chemistry disposes over a broad expertise in the areas of Macromolecular Chemistry, with a focus in polymerization catalysis, in porous polymeric materials, conductive polymers and in molecular heterogeneous catalysis. In the latter context, supported organometallic catalysts, e.g. for Heck-couplings, metathesis reactions, arylations, carbonyl hydrosilylations, cyanosilylations and hydroformylation reactions are developed.

/ modeling / kinetics
We develop chemical theories and methods for rationally designing molecules, nano-structures and materials as well as chemical processes toward these compounds, based on quantum mechanics and computer simulations. An essential part of these efforts is the application of our theories and models in cooperation with experimental groups. The project comprises four main directions: 1) Structure and Chemical Bonding in DFT; 2) Theoretical Biochemistry; 3) Reactivity; 4) Rational Design of Catalysts.
