Short presentation
My research focuses on the photochemistry of transition metal complexes and their potential to activate chemical bonds, particularly C–H bonds. I employ time-resolved X-ray spectroscopy to probe light-induced changes in electronic structure and to directly observe the formation of new chemical bonds.
Keywords
- photocatalysis
- x-ray photon science
- time-resolved spectroscopy
