Mission accomplished. Our third paper on the special biipo ligand and an 'Unexpected Boost in Activity of a Cu(I) Photosensitizer by Stabilizing a Transient Excited State' is now published in Inorganic Chemistry. This was only possible through a great cooperative effort. Many thanks to the groups of Prof. Lochbrunner und Prof. Niedner-Schatteburg. Read more

Conference scholarship for our master student Oliver Lange. Oli received a scholarship to attend the Bunsen Conference 2022 in Giessen. There he will present the results of his master thesis on "Computational and Spectroscopic Study of Excited States of 1,10-Phenanthroline-derivatives and their Cu(I)-photosensitizers ". Enjoy

Welcome to the Tschierlei Research Group

We are part of the Institute of Physical and Theoretical Chemistry at the Technische Universität Braunschweig. Our interest lies in the fundamental understanding and comprehensive characterization of photoinduced processes as well as the dynamics of excited states of different metal complexes. Furthermore, the investigation of photosensitizers and photocatalysts regarding their application in the field of solar energy conversion represents a key issue.
