… The understanding of chemical reactivity is of key importance for the development and optimization of key chemical processes in both the laboratory and industry. Solvation not only changes the properties of the reactants and the products, but also affects transition states. Solvents thus influence the thermodynamics, the kinetics, and the product selectivity in liquid phase reactions. The selection of a suitable solvent frequently determines the success or failure of a chemical reaction. One example with possibly broad implications is the synthesis of enantiomeric pure products that is mandatory for any new…

… Advanced Modules 2016 17TH - 20TH OF MAY 2016 Between May 17 and May 20 the GSS Summer School 2016 took place. The first two lecture days focused on the role of the solvent in activity and selectivity of nanostructured electrocatalysts. The third lecture day covered theoretical aspects of solvation thermodynamics and experimental techniques for studying solvent effects on optical activity. Please see below for a list of confirmed speakers. On Friday, 20th of May the advanced module hands-on courses will take place. Name Affiliation Talk…
