Inorganic Chemistry / Metalorganic Chemistry and Inorganic Materials
Prof. Dr. Matthias Driess [1]
The group's
research activities over the whole spectrum of molecular and solid
state inorganic matter. This ranges from sophisticated syntheses of
unusual organometallic compounds to nanoscaled materials chemistry.
Particular attention is devoted to bridge between the molecular and
the materials domain. In the analytical area the group is working with
modern equipment such as single crystal diffraction and solid state
NMR spectroscopy.
Bioinorganic Chemistry
Prof. Dr. Andreas Grohmann [2]
The main
subjects of our work are the coordination chemistry of
transition-metal complexes and bioinorganic chemistry. The activation
of small molecules (O2, NO, NO2-),
functional molecules (e. g., spin-state switching in iron(II)
complexes), and the design and application of multidentate ligands are
of special interest.
Inorganic Chemistry / Solid State Chemistry
Prof.
Dr. Martin Lerch [3]
The group is working in the field of
Solid State and Materials Chemistry. Current interests are Anion
substitution as a route to novel materials (electro-optical materials,
solid electrolytes, catalysts, pigments etc.), Crystal growth of new
materials using the ‘Skull-melting’ technique, Synthesis and
characterisation of metastable compounds, Crystal structure
determination at high temperatures using neutron and synchrotron
radiation, Correlations between structure and physical properties,
defect chemistry.
Analytical Chemistry
Prof. Dr. Thorsten Ressler
[4]
The focus of our research is on solid-state analytics.
The properties of functional materials are governed by characteristic
geometric and electronic defects. We aim at understanding the defect
structure of selected solids and correlate the static and dynamic
behaviour of this structure to the properties of the materials.
Therefore, we apply numerous spectroscopic, scattering, and
electrochemical techniques under various dynamic reaction conditions
(in situ).
Functional Materials
Prof. Dr. Arne Thomas [5]
Our main interest is the synthesis and application of
nanostructured materials, with a special focus on the generation of
porous functional materials for catalytic applications. The scope of
materials used for this purpose is ranging from inorganic to organic
compounds, for example silicas and metal oxides, carbons and carbon
nitrides, organosilicas, polymers and organic frameworks.
Fundamentals and Methods of Crystal Growth
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Matthias Bickermann [6]
The group works on growth, characterization, and preparation of bulk single crystals for modern applications. Research is focused on nitride and oxide semiconductors that are grown using specialized techniques. AlN and GaN are semiconductor materials employed in blue, white, and UV optoelectronics and high frequency electronics. Refractory oxides (and fluorides) are used as substrates for transparent electronics and as material for detectors, scintillators, laser crystals and non-linear optics (e.g. frequency doubling). Research is conducted at the Leibniz Institute for Crystal Growth (IKZ) located in Berlin-Adlershof.
