We had to say goodbye to Dominik. Thanks a lot for your contributions and all the best! His key finding... is hopefully published soon ;)

October 2024



New Publication

We introduce iodoloisoxazolium salts as iodine(III)-based halogen bond donors and evaluate their potential as organocatalysts.

New Publication

We continue our exploration of (halogen/chalcogen-free...) bis(dicyanomethid)cyclopropenium units, now in cooperation with @EiglerLab. Turns out, they not only stabilize radicals, the also form fluorescence dyes!

New Publication

Do you feel like you've missed the latest developments in organocatalysis with halogen, chalcogen, pnictogen and tetrel bonding? We got you covered (essentially an update to our 2019 review in ACS Catalysis)

Elucidating the Binding Mode of Sulfur- and Selenium-Based Cationic Chalcogen-Bond Donors

How do thio-, seleno-, and telluroimidazolium cations bind anions? Is it only chalcogen bonding or do other interactions also play a major role? We looked at this in detail:

New Publication

A Halogen Bonding Molecular Tweezer

Most projects are challenging, but some molecules are particularly "resistent"... After many efforts, we finally present the first modified version of our terphenyl-based halogen bond donors, here as building blocks for a molecular tweezer.

Evaluation of a Bidentate 'Clamp'-Like Halogen-Bond Doner Motif Based of Iodonium(III) Moieties

We report a further bidentate iodine(III)-based organocatalyst, which is more flexible than our erlier "flat" version.

New Publication

A Combined Halogen- and Chalcogen-Bonding Organocatalyst

After having studied pure halogen- an chalcogen bond donors as catalysts for some time now, we now present our very first steps into mixed halogen-/chalcogen bondig systems
