Molecular Heterogeneous Catalysis
in Confined Geometries

Area B: Catalysis

Area B of this CRC is concerned with the probing of confinement effects and the development of a suitable linker technology to attach the catalyst within the pore.

The following reactions are being investigated in detail and from different perspectives in the 2nd funding period (2022-2026):

  • Organocatalytic alkylations (Project A08)
  • Alkyne metathesis-based macrocyclizations (Project B02)
  • Hydrosilylation and hydroamination of alkynes (Project B02)
  • Cr-catalyzed oligomerization (Project B04)
  • CO2 reduction
    • Electrocatalytic processes on different supports (Projects A03, B07, C02)
    • Gas-phase hydrogenation by Cu-hydrides (Project B05)
    • Photocatalytic process with porphyrinoids and pyridyl-carbenes (Project C02)
  • Addition reactions (Project B06)
  • Enyne cycloisomerization (Project B08)
