Latest News

On July 2, the Vice Presidents of the German Research Foundation (DFG) have been elected. UniSysCat member Prof. Dr. Peter Seeberger, director at the MPICI and the CTC, has been re-elected for his second term in office.

Today, the very first episode of the new podcast on the “Future of Chemistry and Society”, produced by Nona Schulte-Römer and UniSysCat postdoc Benjamin Steininger, went online.

A team of six UniSysCat groups discovered a promising recyclable catalyst for cross-couplings by combining a nickel catalyst and a photocatalyst in a single material.

The idea for the CTC was developed by UniSysCat member Prof. Peter Seeberger and Dr. Matthew Plutschack from the MPICI.
