New paper in JACS
Controlling the Flow of Charges across Phthalocyanine@Transition-Metal Dichalcogenide Interfaces The Guldi Group published a new paper in the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) addressing the directional control of interfacial charge transfer in molecular semiconductor heterostructures. The key process in solar-to-X conversions is charge separation across interfaces, as occurs within the silicon pn junction […]Controlling the Flow of Charges across Phthalocyanine@Transition-Metal Dichalcogenide Interfaces The Guldi Group published a new paper in the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) addressing the directional control of interfacial charge transfer in molecular semiconductor heterostructures.

Multidirektionaler Ladungstransfer in selbstorganisierenden Supra-Amphiphilen
Die Selbstorganisation einzelner organischer Moleküle in größere, komplexere Strukturen ist ein essenzieller Prozess in der Natur und von großer Bedeutung in der modernen Forschung. Ein herausragendes Beispiel hierfür aus der Natur ist das Chlorophyll. In diesem ermöglicht ein fein abgestimmtes Arrangement aus lichtsammelnden Molekülen, die nicht durch molekulare Bindungen (nicht kovalent) verknüpft sind, den Prozess […]Die Selbstorganisation einzelner organischer Moleküle in größere, komplexere Strukturen ist ein essenzieller Prozess in der Natur und von großer Bedeutung in der modernen Forschung.

From Empirical Rules to Digital Predictions of ππ* Absorption Maxima
What happens when the wisdom of mid-20th-century chemists meets today’s digital tools? In our recent work, we revisited and digitized the classical empirical rules of Woodward, Fieser, and Kuhn to predict ππ* absorption maxima directly from molecular structure. By translating their additive principles into a modern cheminformatics workflow, we provide a low-cost and interpretable alternative […]What happens when the wisdom of mid-20th-century chemists meets today’s digital tools?

Enzyme-Inspired Advances in Photocatalysis for Sustainable Energy
The article “Enzyme-Inspired Single-Atom Photocatalysis for Oxygen Reduction to Hydrogen Peroxide”, recently published in Nature Communications, presents a breakthrough approach to light-driven catalysis by translating enzymatic precision into artificial photocatalysts. The study was carried out by an international team from the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen–Nürnberg (FAU), the VSB – Technical University of Ostrava (VSB-TUO), Palacký University Olomouc (UPOL), and the University of Buenos […]The article “Enzyme-Inspired Single-Atom Photocatalysis for Oxygen Reduction to Hydrogen Peroxide”, recently published in Nature Communications, presents a breakthrough approach to light-driven catalysis by translating enzymatic precision into artificial photocatalysts.
