NMR spectroscopic tools to detect Brønsted/Lewis acid-base preorganization in photocatalysis (B03)

• Subject Area: Analytical Chemistry
• Term: since 2021
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 444632635

The main goal of the project is to detect, rationalize and design the effect of H-bonds and Lewis-acid/base interactions in photocatalysis. Advanced NMR-spectroscopic methods in combination with selected and designed model systems from synthetic collaboration partners will be used to address the impact of isolated H-bonds, cooperativity effects and extended H-bond networks in photocatalysis. In addition, for the by far more flexible and less directed Lewis acid base interactions NMR spectroscopic tools shall be tested to develop an access to structure-based Lewis acid base effects in photocatalysis.
