ADUC Prize

Awarding of the ADUC Prizes on the occasion of the CDT 2023 in Dresden by Prof. Dr. Nobert W. Mitzel (ADUC- Chair) (Photos: GDCh; Photographer: J. Lösel):

• Dr. Terrance Hadlington "... . for the implementation of the single-center ambiphilicity concept, which enables sophisticated cooperative bond activations on transition metal complexes with low-valent, redox-active main group ligands and makes them usable for homogeneous catalytic processes, especially hydroamination."
• Jun.-Prof. Dr. Christoph Kerzig "...for the further development of photochemical energy conversion, especially in water, as well as for the development of novel two-photon processes for photocatalysis with visible light."
• Dr. Golo Storch "...for the biomimetic development and investigation of substituted flavins as molecular redox catalysts in organic synthesis."

On the occasion of the CDT 2022 in Saarbrücken, Prof. Dr. Nobert W. Mitzel (ADUC Chair; photos: left) awarded the ADUC Prizes 2022 (photos: Jean M. Laffitau) to:

• Jun.-Prof. Dr. Kai S. Exner "...for the original and groundbreaking research in the field of theoretical electrocatalysis to improve electrode materials for electrocatalytic processes or batteries."
• Jun.-Prof. Dr. Max M. Hansmann "...for the development of synthetic approaches to unusual and highly reactive carbon compounds such as mesoionic N-heterocyclic olefins, diazoalkenes, triplet vinylidenes and electron-rich olefins as well as their comprehensive physical characterization."
• Dr. Christopher J. Teskey "...for the development of light-switchable transition metal catalysts, exemplified by cobalt-mediated hydroborations, which enable stereoselective aldol reaction cascades and exhibit switchable chemoselectivity."
