Trapp Research Group

Honored to welcome Prof. Eric Jacobsen @LMU_Muenchen giving a great lecture on privileged chiral catalysts.

📢 @dfg_public funds the CRC 392 Molecular Evolution in Prebiotic Environments which is founded on the research of @emergenceoflife 🎉. Here is the news release in DE 👇dfg.de/service/presse…

Nucleophilicity of 4-(Alkylthio)-3-imidazoline Derived Enamines (Ofial, Trapp, et al.) @TrappLab, @OfialLab onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ch…

Congratulations to Sabrina for successfully defending her excellent doctoral thesis about novel phosphine-ligands and catalysts (SabPhos)!

Congratulations to Max for successfully defending his excellent doctoral thesis about prebiotic phosphorylation reactions with prebiotically formed imidazolidine-4-thiones!

See the #unique #original samples of #urea (1828) from Friedrich Wöhler! I took this picture in the @merckgroup museum.

Congratulations to the Merck-Banyu Lectureship Award recipients Kenzo Yamatsugu and Masakazu Nambo visiting @LMU_Muenchen. Great talks about Chemical Catalysis Enabling Synthetic Intervention in Cellular Epigenome & Transformations of Organosulfones!

Congratulations to Simone for successfully defending her excellent doctoral thesis about autocatalytic transformations! Look at the hat, a little Oktoberfest!

When in Rome.. you start your conference with some music. Ben and @DamianPadin are at @chirality2023

Congratulations to Laura for successfully defending her excellent doctoral thesis about ‘In silico Investigations towards Homochirality in the Context of the Origin of Life’! rdcu.be/cUa7M

Special thanks for the invitation to the JCF colloquium on 'Initiating Molecular Life' at the Institute of Chemistry of the University of Rostock. Here a picture with Arne Estelmann from the JCF Rostock in front of the portrait of Walden (Walden inversion). @gdch_aktuell

🗓️Tomorrow - June 20th 11:00 am CEST #MOM 2023 kicks off. Join us by registering at lmu.de/mom2023

Our Nature paper on the formation of Earth is out today. A thread. The paper is the result of an interdisciplinary collaboration between cosmochemists who study meteorites in the laboratory and astrophysicists who study planet formation. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Meet the editors of Chirality, the unrivaled scientific medium on chirality! ow.ly/nq6850ON8iW @ripes @TrappLab

Revisiting A Long-Time Question: How stellar radiation breaks symmetry in meteoritic isovaline? By studying the response of iva to chiral light, we aimed to simulate the photolysis processes that may occur in space. @ERC_Research @NatureComms rdcu.be/dd5ca

@spfletcher Congratulations Steve, well deserved!

Super news! It is very nice to have the groups work recognised like this. I think we might have to celebrate tonight!

Many thanks to @GloriusFrank for great discussions and his lecture about discovery and sensitivity in (photo)catalysis @LMU_Muenchen!

Congratulations to the meteorite team (@LMU_Muenchen, @mpi_astro, @emergenceoflife), for closing the gap on making formaldehyde, acetaldehyde from CO2 for the next steps in the emergence of life: prebiotic photoredox organocatalysts, DNA nucleosides etc.. rdcu.be/dc0nW
