Project Details
Catalysis with Reduced Arylboranes (A04)
Subject Area
Inorganic Molecular Chemistry - Synthesis and Characterisation
Term
since 2026
Project identifier
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 551403841
Project A04 “Catalysis with Reduced Arylboranes” focuses on boron-based transition-metal-free catalysts, namely reduced heterocyclic boron compounds, and their application in the activation of small molecules. The project aims to develop the chemistry of reduced heterocyclic boron compounds, to explore their potential for small-molecule activation, and their use as catalysts for the conversion of e.g. CO2 into valuable C1 building blocks.
