Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden
| Professor Jones is a truly outstanding contributor to the fields of inorganic and organometallic chemistry. He is highly recognized not only in counties where e has done research, namely Australia and the UK, but also worldwide. He continues to play a pioneering and widely recognized role in the field of hydride chemistry and the low oxidation state chemistry of the main group metals semimetals. The culmination of his work has been the synthesis of the first stable compound with a magnesium-magnesium stigma bond which was recently published in Science. In Germany he intends to develop novel homogenous catalysts based on heterobimetallic complexes with metals in unusual low oxidation state which may play a role in water-splitting processes. |
