Clausius Institute for Physical and Theoretical Chemistry
It was Rudolf Clausius, a professor at the University of Bonn, who in the mid-1800s coined the term entropy, formulated the second law of thermodynamics, and laid the foundations of modern Physical and Theoretical Chemistry - a true transdisciplinary scientist and visionary thinker who cautioned us more than 130 years ago to utilize nature's resources in a sustainable fashion.

Two members of our working group were recently awarded with Sigrid Peyerimhoff awards.
Dr. Jan Niklas Hansen und Dr. Jan Ruland sind mit dem Klartextpreis für Wissenschaftskommunikation 2023 ausgezeichnet worden. Sieben Promovierte der Naturwissenschaften und der Informatik hat die Klaus Tschira-Stiftung für besonders gelungene Wissenschaftskommunikation ausgezeichnet, darunter die beiden Bonner Wissenschaftler. Dr. Jan Niklas Hansen forscht am Institut für angeborene Immunität der Universität Bonn. Dr. Jan Ruland war bis vor kurzem Doktorand am Institut für Physikalische und Theoretische Chemie der Universität Bonn und ist jetzt Mitarbeiter der Firma Biontech.
according to an evaluation by research.com
A novel catalysis scheme enables chemical reactions that were previously virtually impossible. The method developed at the University of Bonn is also environmentally friendly and does not require rare and precious metals. The researchers recorded the exact course of the catalysis in a kind of high-speed film. They did this using special lasers that can make processes visible that last only fractions of a billionth of a second. The results allow them to further optimize the catalyst. They have been published in the international edition of the renowned journal “Angewandte Chemie.”

Arrival by car
The main access road is from the east is the A 3 (Cologne - Frankfurt(Main)). Across the A 560 and the A 59 ("air port highway") you reach Bonn.
From the west (Belgium, Netherlands and the area around Aachen) the A 4 and the A 555 are leading to Bonn. Bonn is surrounded by a highway ring providing a fast inner-city access.
Arrival by train
Bonn can easily by reached by train.
Bonn main station is connected to the ICE/IC/EC-net.
The regular stop Siegburg/Bonn of the ICE route Frankfurt-Cologne can be reached by city railway line 66.
The footpath from the main station to the institute is shown on the map.
