We are delighted to welcome four new Master students to our group this summer!

At the start of the summer semester, four Master students joined our group for their focusing laboratory course and subsequently all decided to complete their Master thesis with us. Daniel Holbach will spend the next few months synthesizing and investigating M4L6 cages. Levin Peters is researching the topic of chiral TADF emitters and Sonja Papan is working on racemization barriers and complexes based on 8,8'-BINOL. Matthias Justen will write about the synthesis of porphyrin- and salen-based metallosupramolecular cages. (Left to right: Daniel Holbach, Levin Peters, Sonja Papan and Matthias Justen)
