Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden
| Prof. Thomas Swaddle has received the Alexander von Humboldt Award in recognition of his contributions towards the understanding of mechnism of homogenous and heterogeneous electron transfer reactions in inorganic chemistry. The understanding of electron transfer reactions at a molecular level, is of great importance in bilogical, environmental and industrial processes. He has in particular concentrated in his work on the role of self-exchange reactions and on the application of high pressure kinetic and thermodynamic techniques. The determination of activation and reaction volumes for such processes assisted the description of the electron-transfer reactions at a molecular level and enable him to come up with detailed theoretical analyses of the observed effects. At the Institute for Inorganic Chemistry, University Erlangen-Nuernberg, he will apply high pressure NMR techniques to the study of self-exchange reactions of highly charged anionic metal complexes, and the role of counter ions in assisting such reactions. |
