Nominator's project description

Professor Jäkle has established himself as one of the most prominent researchers in the area of polyfunctional Lewis acids and organoborane polymers. He developed new materials for organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs), demonstrated that fluorescent boron polymers can be used to screen anions at extremely low concentrations, and pioneered organoborane block copolymers and their assembly into supramolecular structures. In Germany, he will develop new polymerization techniques and investigate the electronic structure of organoboron polymers by quantum chemical means. Professor Jäkle is hosted by Professor Matthias Wagner and Professor Max Holthausen at the Goethe-University in Frankfurt (Main).
