Grk 2376 Confinement-Controlled Chemistry

The Research Training group GRK 2376 determines how the nature of a confining environment like geometry, surface texture and surface chemistry affects the transition states and pathways of chemical reactions. This scientific approach is addressed by researchers from Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Technische Universität Dortmund, Universität Duisburg-Essen and collaborating partners from University of California, Berkeley. Their complementary scientific expertise enables to combine theoretical models and state-of-the-art experiments in synthesis, spectroscopy and surface science. Thus, the collaborative research will contribute to the fundamental understanding of confinement-controlled reactions.
