Frank Würthner, Professor of Organic Chemistry at the University of Würzburg, receives a highly renowned prize: He is awarded the Adolf von Baeyer Medal.
moreOn Friday, March 29th, Alexander von Humboldt Foundation research award winners were welcomed to Germany at its traditional annual awards symposium in Bamberg. Three of them are hosted in the Faculty of Chemistry and Pharmacy of JMU during their research stays.
moreSince 2018 the groups of Zengqi Xie and Frank Würthner collaborate in the framework of a Chinese (NSFC) - German (DFG) project on the interlayer engineering for organic solar cells. The concept utilizes perylene bisimide dyes as photosensitizers in zinc oxide interlayers.
moreMore than 200 participants met for the fifth edition of SupraChem in Würzburg in February 2019. Besides 27 short lectures and 111 poster contributions by German and European participants, three plenary lectures by internationally renowned scientists were given as true highlights, one of them from the 2016 Chemistry Nobel Laureate Sir Fraser Stoddart.
moreThis prestigious distinction has been awarded to Frank Würthner and five other scientists from the University of Würzburg this year. The six faculty members and one researcher honoured as "Citation Laureate" are among the most frequently cited and hence most influential authors in their fields of research.
moreSolar-powered water splitting is a promising means of generating clean and storable energy. A novel catalyst based on semiconductor nanoparticles has now been shown to facilitate all the reactions needed for “artificial photosynthesis”.
moreWe are happy to announce that SupraChem 2019 will be held at the University of Würzburg on February 24-26, 2019.
moreFrank Würthner has been awarded an Advanced Grant of the European Research Council worth EUR 2.5 million. He wants to use the money to push the conversion of solar energy to fuel.
