Short Description

Research in the Graduate School is directed along two major axes: the chemistry of spin centers and the chemistry of non-covalent interactions. In particular, BIGS-Chemistry strives to understand the unique chemical and physical properties of molecules with unpaired electrons and to utilize them as building blocks for novel materials and functional systems. To this end, state-of-the-art experimental and theoretical tools are being developed to probe the molecular and electronic structure of such spin centers and to explore their extraordinary reactivity and dynamics. Individual molecules are being assembled into larger functional units (scaffolds and networks) through the targeted integration of non-covalent interactions between the individual molecular constituents. The International Graduate School makes every effort in developing a sustainable, environmentally friendly, and resource-saving Chemistry.
