At the same event, Julia Soika received the Rectory Prize for her excellent doctoral dissertation at our faculty. One of the cutting-edge topics in her thesis was the application of a well-known versatile thermal Aluminum-Salen catalyst in #photocatalysis. Congratulations!
Merry Christmas!!!
We wish you all a Merry Christmas, restful holidays, and all the best for the year 2026!
Join us for our annual christmas lecture on December 16th at 5 pm in the lecture hall C1. This year, Uwe Karst and Michael Holtkamp explore the fascination of light under the topic "Let there be light!". How do we perceive it? How can we make colorful light? And how does chemistry come into play?
Great news for our young researchers: The international research training group (IRTG) "Functional pi-Systems: Activation, Interaction and Application (pi-Sys)" @uni-muenster.de is funded by the DFG for additional 4.5 years. Many thanks to the whole IRTG-team for their long-standing dedication!
