Preassembly Effects in the Photochemistry 3d Transition Metal Complexes and Synthetic Phosphorus Chemistry (A04)

• Subject Area: Inorganic Molecular Chemistry - Synthesis and Characterisation
• Term: since 2021
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 444632635

This project examines photoinduced electron transfer processes of octahedral 3d transition metal photocatalysts for catalytic transformations. Spectroscopic and quantum chemical studies will illuminate the influence of substrate-catalyst preassembly on electron transfer reactions between metal complexes and substrate molecules. Moreover, the project will utilize assembly-controlled photochemical processes for the catalytic synthesis of organophosphorus compounds directly from abundant feedstocks (e.g., white phosphorus and phosphine oxides).
