Invited Speakers
The invited lectures of the GTL18 will be presented by:
Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Institute of Nanotechnology
Synthesis, experimental and quantum chemical investigation of compounds with multinary, in particular multimetallic, cluster-based materials.
College of Chemistry, Sichuan University
Our group’s research focuses on the synthesis, reactivity and catalytic application of low-valent germanium and tin compounds with pincer ligands.
Universität Bielefeld
Open-shell main group chemistry and organometallic catalysis: stable (di)radicals, ligand design, small molecule activation.
Technical University of Munich, NAT School
We explore the utility of earth-abundant main group elements in molecular catalysis – both as single-site systems, and in cooperation with a 3d-metal. This centres on ligand design, and in-depth mechanistic studies.
Technical University of Munich
Our research focuses on the synthesis, characterization, and reactivity of main group compounds with unusual structures and unique electronic properties, aiming at novel applications in synthesis, catalysis, and materials science.
University of Sussex
Applications of Main Group Ligands in Lanthanide and Actinide Organometallic Chemistry; Magnetism; Small-Molecule Activation.
Graz University of Technology
Low and high coordinate Group 14 compounds Oligomers of Group 14 elements.
Institute for Chemical Research, Kyoto University
Main group element chemistry, organomatallic chemistry and structural chemistry.
Prof. Dr. Norio Nakata
Graduate School of Science and Engineering, Saitama University
Main-group element chemistry: synthesis and reactivity of tetrylenes Organometallic chemistry: design of polymerization catalysts.
University of Alberta
The Rivard group studies molecular and polymeric main group chemistry with a recent focus on mild materials deposition.
Saitama University
Group 14 compounds with unusual structures and σ-delocalization composed of non-bonded heavy chalcogen atoms.
Saarland University
Unsaturated main group systems (multiple bonds, rings and clusters) with pending functionalities.
Goethe-Universität Frankfurt/Main
Our group develops novel synthetic pathways for compounds of group III and IV elements, with special emphasis on their structural peculiarities and the mechanistic aspects of their reactivity. Applications range from materials science to transition metal-free homogeneous catalysis.
