Attention! Our research group is no longer active on X. Stay updated on our latest work and follow us on Bluesky: @wegnerlabs.bsky.social See you there! 🩵

Exciting news! Dominic Schatz's latest paper with @MMHansmann_chem has just been published in @ChemEurJ! The study dives into the redox properties of azoxybenzenes, exploring their potential for energy storage systems. Check it out: doi.org/10.1002/chem.2…

Don’t miss out today’s webinar, starting at 2:00 p.m. (GMT+1)! Former group member @JanGriwatz and Professor Hermann A. Wegner will give an insight into streamlining synthesis via #flowchemistry Register here: lmy.de/ntqEc #METTLERTOLEDO #sustainability #autochem

Opening @BeilsteinInst symposium with brilliant talks by @KMothPoulsen @DaichiKITAGAWA1 @wegnerlabs and Anne Staubitz on photoswitches 💡

New paper! We invested the Ullmann reaction on the surface of Au nanoparticles, which opens up prospects in the synthesis of new hybrid materials, molecular self assembly and in nanotechonology. More information: doi.org/10.1039/D4NR03…

Our Ph.D. students Pia and Rouven had a great time at the ORCHEM in Regensburg, gained a lot of insights and got the chance to present their own work. See you next year! @GDCh_aktuell

Want to know more about our recent advances in organic on-surface synthesis? Prof. Wegner has just answered some questions for @ChemistryViews. Have a closer look: chemistryviews.org/broadening-the…

One disadvantage of the Ullmann reaction is its preference for homo-coupled over hetero-coupled products. We devised a heterogeneous catalyst, acting as a template to swap the natural selectivity of Ullmann coupling reactions. More details: doi.org/10.1002/ceur.2…

@mogens_br from Copenhagen has visited us in the last two weeks! We are always happy to welcome you back. Thank you for the many helpful discussions and your interesting talk in our last seminar!

Our Ph.D. students Michel and Christopher are currently at the @BOS_2024_Riga! If you're around aswell feel free to get in touch and make sure to check out their posters (No. 37 and 67). #balticumorganicsyntheticum #conference

Thank you so much Hermann @wegnerlabs for visiting us @livMatS_UniFR @UniFreiburg @FreiburgChem and sharing with us modern azobenzene chemistry for energy storage @WerzLab @JessenLab @DumeleLab @maiti_iitb @pappas_babis

Today, Prof. Wegner is giving a talk in Freiburg @livMatS_UniFR on "Azobenzenes - Colorful Molecular Materials for Energy Storage". Make sure to check it out! More info: livmats.uni-freiburg.de/en

"Experimental and numerical investigation of the photo-mechanical response of azobenzene filled soft elastomers, Part I: Experimental investigations". Check out our latest publication together with Markus Mehnert and Paul Steinmann from @UniFAU. doi.org/10.1016/j.eml.…

What a productive @FOR_MOST_5499 Meeting at @UniFAU! We updated each other on our recent research progress, discussed organizational matters and, of course, had a good time and a few chats. 🗨🧪 Thanks to the Hirsch group for the excellent organization and the beautiful venue! 🤗

the @for_most_5499 project now have a @YouTube channel. You can watch the trailer here, featuring among others, @wegnerlabs, Libuda group and what may be the largest Quadricyclane model in the world :-) youtube.com/watch?v=vkipD9…
