Electron transfer and catalysis in molecular systems
Our research
Reiner Lomoth's research is focused on redox reactions and catalysis in molecular systems and their mechanistic investigation using spectroscopic and electrochemical methods.
Most of this work seeks to develop fundamental insight in photo- and electrochemical processes with pertinence to the conversion of visible light into electrical or chemical energy (solar energy conversion and storage) or to radical-based transformations in organic chemistry (photoredox catalysis). In this context, we are studying molecular catalysts for hydrogen evolution and investigate the reactivity of photoactive iron complexes.
