Institute of Inorganic Chemistry

The research topics of our institute are ranging from solid state chemistry over organometallic and supramolecular chemistry to catalysis.

Solid state chemistry is studied in the group of Arno Pfitzner. The chemistry of main group elements in liquid ammonia is studied in the group of Nikolaus Korber. Intermetallic solid state compounds involving alkali metals, thallium and/or indium are the focus of interest of the group of Stefanie Gärtner. The group of Robert Wolf is active in the field of synthetic organometallic chemistry, homogenous (photo-)catalysis and the development of innovative strategies for the synthesis of phosphorus compounds. In the group of Manfred Scheer the organometallic chemistry of main group elements, especially phosphorus as well as supramolecular chemistry is in the centre of interest. The group of Marcel Schorpp studies main-group compounds exhibiting enhanced acceptor properties as well as cooperative reactivities and valence tautomerism in molecular main-group systems. Cooperative Silicon-based molecular systems for a metal-free catalysis are investigated in the group of Jonathan Bauer. The group of Michael Bodensteiner tries to extract as much chemical information as possible from  X-ray structure analyses.
