- Title
Photochemie – mechanistisch und ohne Quecksilberlampen.
- Authors
Kerzig, Christoph
- Abstract
Christoph Kerzig researches efficient mechanisms in photochemistry driven by a photon in the visible range. He also investigates two-photon processes that can activate inert molecules with LEDs. The research focuses on making the conversion of light into chemical energy or the activation of small molecules more efficient. Work is also being done on the development of photochemical reactions in an aqueous environment to increase sustainability. Various research areas and concepts are presented, including photocatalysis, upconversion, and Dexter energy transfer. Molecular dyads are also being studied to more efficiently utilize precious metal complexes. Furthermore, two-photon mechanisms are being explored to achieve excitation energies and redox potentials beyond the energy limitations of a photon in the visible spectral range. Mechanistic-spectroscopic aspects play a central role in the research to quantitatively describe mechanisms. Methods are also being developed to quantify and better understand the formation of free, catalytically active intermediates. The research is based on a combination of kinetic simulations, quantum mechanical calculations, trapping experiments, and concentration measurements. Christoph Kerzig is a Liebig fellow and professor at the University of Mainz.
