Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden

Professor Jones is well known internationally for his fundamental investigations on bond activation reactions. His work on the cleavage of C-H, C-C, C-S and C-F bonds has paved the way for applications in synthetic chemistry and homogeneous catalysis. During his stay in Germany, he intends to work on N-H and O-H bond activation reactions with phosphorus heterocycles and on proteins as ligand backbones for transition metal catalysts.
