Yes, I like how the viewing angles combine (by chance)
Research in organic and supramolecular chemistry at Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany. Key interests are applications of halogen or chalcogen bonding in solution.

We welcome Katyayani and Jelke as new PhD students to our group - both will explore different aspects of halogen and chalcogen bonding organocatalysis. All the best!
We have now finally completed the renovation of our synthesis labs. Thanks to Ruhr-University Bochum for providing us with such excellent infrastructure!
Thanks to Saber and Richard for the many measurements, to Christoph Held for the very nice cooperation and to our NMR department for their patience!
A paper with a Queen song title? Check! (Even though that was an easy one). We've investigated the high pressure behavior of halogen bonding and found some unexpected solvent @solvationsci.bsky.social dependence: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
Last monday, we bid farewell to Saber Mehrparvar now that his two-year postdoc stay came to an end. He tackled a difficult project, under high pressure, which will hopefully be published soon. Saber, it was a GREAT pleasure having you around, all the best for your future!
Said opus magnum (see below) is now in its final layout: highly enantioselective organocatalysis with bidentate halogen bond donors! A breakthrough that we had been hunting fir many, many years: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
Congrats - very useful method. And welcome to BlueSky!
Today, Julian Wolf briliantly defended his thesis, congrats! His opus magnum can be found here: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr.... Thanks to Raphael Stoll for chairing and to Gerald Dyker, Nils Metzler-Nolte for co-reviewing!
Ein Appell von S4F an die Politik Die Klimakrise und weitere Umweltkrisen (Biodiversitätsverlust, Überlastung biogeochemischer Stoffkreisläufe, ...) sind mittelfristig die größte Bedrohung für Sicherheit, Wirtschaft und Wohlstand, Demokratie, Zivilisation und Menschenleben. ➡️
The combined power of halogen bonding and asymmetric counteranion-directed catalysis = XB-ACDC: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/.... Thanks to @mertenlab.bsky.social for structure elucidation and to the List group for this beautiful cooperation! A perfect #RESOLV project! @solvationsci.bsky.social
So far, strong neutral halogen bond donors were often based on fluoroarenes. Here, we present ortho-carborane-based systems that clearly outcompete them: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/.... Thanks to Jas Ward and Kari Rissanen for the X-ray analyses and to Sandro Keller for assistance with ITC.
Thanks for the list! Could you please add our group? Thanks!
We are hiring! Please share, thanks!
After a one-year hiatus on this platform, we have decided to move here for good - it's just a so much nicer place than the other one... PS: For all biochemists and biologists who have started to follow us: thank you for your interest, but be aware that we don't really work much in these areas...
We all wish you Merry Christmas and a great start into the New Year!
It's nice and concise, just consider it a suggestion for future version v2...
No offense, but by now this is indeed a bit outdated... no halogen bonding, chalcogen bonding, etc. ... ;-)
We wish you - and in particular our three followers - merry Christmas and a great start into the new year!
