Organic Chemistry

“The Hansmann group is a synthetic organic group with overlap into the areas of main-group chemistry, spectroscopy, electro-chemistry and computational studies. Currently, we are interested in the synthesis of redox-active organic molecules and their application in photo-catalysis and redox-flow batteries. Furthermore, we are interested in unusual molecules such as strong carbon based donor ligands or unusual P-heterocycles.”

“My research interests focus on the chemistry of secondary natural products and traditional organic synthesis. The members of my research group contribute to natural product research through the total synthesis of natural products with beautiful, unique, or complex molecular structures. We develop synthetic methods that provide low-effort access to useful building blocks for the total synthesis of natural products.”

“We are engaged in the production of functionalized polymers by applying living / controlled polymerization techniques. Our fields of interest are micellar catalysis, nanoparticle synthesis for medical applications and the production of synthetic hydrogels as a platform for 2D and 3D cell experiments.”

“The working group concentrates on the development of sustainable catalytic reactions in water and other environmentally benign solvents. To this end, we develop new water-soluble transition metal catalysts and optimize transformations of organic substrates in micellar nanoreactors.”
