Nachrichten aus der Chemie (the membership magazine of the GDCh) annually publishes trend reports in which authors spot and compile an overview of inspiring work and recent trends in the most important chemical disciplines.

ChemViews gives you an overview of the latest trend report, its authors and the literature collected.

Trends in Inorganic Chemistry 2011

R.C. Fischer, J. J. Weigand, R. Wolf, G. Clever, U. Schatzschneider

• Main-group-element compounds
  Compounds with exotic compositions and binding. The subsequent chemistry of these substances is a rapidly evolving field.
• Coordination chemistry
  Frustrated Lewis-acid-base pairs based on main-group elements.
• Bioinorganic chemistry
  New insights into the active centers of photosystem II and of nitrogenase.

Authors

Roland C. Fischer, born 1976, is an Assistant Professor at the Technical University of Graz, Austria. He studied chemistry at the TU Graz and received his Ph.D. under Christoph Marschner in 2003. In 2005/2006, he worked as a Research Fellow of the Max Kade Austrian Academy of Sciences in the laboratory of Philip P. Power at University of California, Davis, USA.

His research interests include low-valent main-group chemistry, particularly of the heavy elements of Group 13, 14, and 15, and the synthesis of compounds of these elements in unusual coordination geometries.

Jan J. Weigand, born 1974, is an Emmy Noether Junior Research Group Leader at the University of Munster, Germany. He studied at Munich University, Germany, and received his Ph.D. there under Thomas Klapötke in 2005. His doctoral dissertation was awarded the Bavarian Cultural Award. After a postdoctoral stay with Neil Burford at the University of Halifax, Canada, he began his Habilitation at the University of Munster under the guidance of Ekkehardt F. Hahn, funded by a grant from the Fonds der chemischen Industrie. In 2010, he received the Wöhler Young Investigator Award of the Wöhler Association of the German Chemical Society.

He is interested in multi-charged Group 15 elements, in particular their reactivity and synthetic applications.

Robert Wolf, born 1977, has been a Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Regensburg, Germany, since 2011. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Leipzig, Germany, under Evamarie Hey-Hawkins before taking up postdoctoral positions with Philip P. Power at the University of California, Davis, USA, and with Koop Lammertsma at the Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, the Netherlands. From 2008 to 2011, he headed a research group at the University of Munster, Germany, under the guidance of Werner Uhl.

His research focuses on the chemistry of reactive, low-valent transition-metal compounds and polynuclear transition-metal-polyhydrides.

Guido Clever, born 1976, has been an Assistant Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Göttingen, Germany, since 2010. He studied in Heidelberg, Germany, then moved to the laboratory of Thomas Carell first in Marburg and then at the University of Munich, both Germany, where he completed his Ph.D. in 2006. From 2007 to 2009, he was a Postdoctoral Research Officer in the group of Mitsuhiko Shionoya at the University of Tokyo, Japan, sponsored by the Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) and the Humboldt Foundation, before becoming an Assistant Professor at the same institution.

His research interests include coordination chemistry for supramolecular design, synthesis, and host–guest chemistry, low-symmetry interwoven cage structures, and the synthesis of metal-mediated DNA nanoarchitectures.

Ulrich Schatzschneider, born 1971, has been a Professor of Bioinorganic Chemistry at the University of Würzburg, Germany, since September 2010.

His research interests include diagnostic and therapeutic applications of transition-metal complexes, especially of “CO-releasing molecules” (CORMs).
