… novel ligand systems can be synthesised in numerous ways from commercially available precursors. “It is thus easy to produce them in different versions and customise their properties to suit a certain application,” explains Däschlein-Gessner, a...

… determine a local pH value near a specific site of a biomolecule. A reliable measurement with a pH meter is only been possible in larger ensemble, or homogeneous bulk. The new procedure, which is based on terahertz spectroscopy, is described by the...

…osition and quantity of solvent in which the reaction took place was also crucial. “We have taken a first important step towards harnessing CO2 for the chemical industry, which would be a great economic and environmental advantage,” says Lukas...

…schulik “The development of non-precious metal catalysts plays a decisive role in realising the energy transition as only they are cheap and available in sufficient quantities to produce the required amounts of renewable fuels,” says Kristina...

… shield mechanism can be transferred to any sensitive catalyst if the appropriate enzyme is selected that can catalyse the corresponding interception reaction," says Wolfgang Schuhmann, head of the Center for Electrochemical Sciences and member of...

… new analysis arrived. Charged particles in aqueous solutions are always surrounded by a shell of water molecules. However, much is still unknown about the nature of this so-called hydration shell. Using spectroscopic methods developed in-house,...

… efficient a catalyst is in the long run.“Many publications claim high activity, stability and selectivity of electrocatalysts for important energy conversion reactions, but there is a lack of evidence”, says Wolfgang Schuhmann, head of the Centre...
