Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden
| Prof. Eisen has contributed significantly to the field of the development of novel catalysts. Thus, he has been able to design and tailor new types of organometallics that enable the synthesis of novel elastomeric polymers. Theses polymers might be suitable, for example, as replacements for the cartilage between vertebrae (disc problems) and in safety materials. The former would be a breakthrough in novel prosthetic polymeric materials. The research that will be conducted with Prof. Evamarie Hey-Hawkins in Leipzig is concerned with the synthesis of specifically tailored compounds with advatageously low cost and facile preparation, with the aim of synthesizing improved polymeric materials. The same type of complexes will then be employed in demanding organic chemical transformation (in Munich with Prof. Knochel) such as the introduction of two chiral centers into a molecule in one step. |
