Jun.-Prof. Dr. B. Rasche

Solid State meets electrochemistry - this is the Rasche group. We are interested in new, metastable phases and their physical properties as well as potential new applications. The employed methods range from classic solid state synthesis and charactersiation, via various electrochemical techniques to in-situ X-ray diffraction of electrochemical experiments.

Prof. Dr. Th. Schleid

Prof. Dr. B. Sarkar

Prof. Dr. R. Niewa

The group is working in the field of Inorganic Materials Chemistry of new inorganic materials or known functional materials in a novel form. A general feature is a sophisticated synthetic approach of the substances and the understanding of the synthetic routes.

He is responsible for the modules "Anorganische Synthesechemie für Fortgeschrittene (ACIII)", "Solid State Materials Chemistry" and "Grundzüge der Angewandten Chemie" and additionally lectures within the module "Vertiefte Anorganische Chemie".

He acts as Dean of Studies for the BSc and MSc degree programs in Chemistry and in this capacity is a member of the faculty's board. He is also a member of the Senate Committee on Teaching (Senatsausschuss Lehre und Weiterbildung).

Prof. Dr. Ch. Sindlinger

Prof. Sindlinger investigates the synthesis of boroles and other molecules of unusual electronic properties and states with a particular interest in structure elucidation of both – atomic connectivity and electronic structure.

He focuses on:

• Antiaromatic heterocycles and their coordination chemistry
• Low-valent main group compounds
• Hydrides and element-hydrogen bonding of heavy elements
• Experimental and computational methods of structure elucidation
• Heteronuclear NMR spectroscopy – experimental and computational

Occupation:

Practical course "Grundlagen der Anorganischen und Analytischen Chemie (AC I)", safety delegate

Occupation:

Practical course "Allgemeine und Anorganische Chemie" for environmental engineers and process technicians; lecture "Inorganic Chemistry" for degree courses WAREM and WASTE; Analytic

The research focus of the Hartenbach group lies within derivatives of rare-earth metal molybdates and tungstates, especially in their suitabilty as luminescence materials.

His teaching comprises organisation and tutoring within the module "Einführung in die Chemie", laboratory supervision within the module "Praktische Einführung in die Chemie" and lecturing within the module "Grundlagen der Anorganischen und Analytischen Chemie".

Dr. Hartenbach is also engaged with recent problems in X-ray structure analysis, he is the deputy radiation safety officer and construction commissioner.

Occupation:
