Thrilled to receive the 2024 Theodor Förster Memorial Lecure Award @PhotochemGDCh for my work on #photophysics and #photochemistry of transition metal complexes - especially the abundant ones! Grateful to my team, all collaborators and nominators! @GDCh_aktuell #photochemistry
Here is the winner of this year's Theodor Förster Memorial Lectureship: Prof. Katja Heinze from the Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz. She received the award for her outstanding contributions to the field of photochemistry. This is the first time the award has gone to a woman.

Finally it’s official: Our manuscript on a new reagent for C-atom transfer is out @ScienceMagazine! Diazo transfer from N2O gives access to Ph3PCN2 a versatile reagent. Big congratulations to the team! @TU_Dortmund @ERC_Research @AvHStiftung @phosphorchem science.org/doi/epdf/10.1126…

Just out as an accepted article in @angew_chem: a great collaboration with AK Gschwind, @TheWolf_Group, @JensBeckmann16 & @CoburgerPeter. If you're interested in the "hows" and "whys" of P4 chemistry you may want to give this one a look. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

It was great to give a talk @MIT and catch up with our collaborator @gabriela_ssc where our @SolvationSci #RESOLV PhD student @NeukirchLaura spent some months to collect TA data on heteroleptic donor-acceptor cages. Also around in Boston was @IreneBenzop on her way to a GRC!
