Job Description
Thesis Subject
The aim of this doctoral project is to prepare Au(III) complexes and to investigate their reactivity under photochemical activation. Particular focus will be placed on achieving challenging reductive elimination reactions, such as C–F or C–CF3 bond formation. The generation and utilization of trifluoromethyl radicals will also be investigated. Stoichiometric studies will be used to establish the conditions and systems required to develop catalytic versions of these reactions.
We will leverage our expertise in ligand design and ligand-enabled gold chemistry to access and stabilize the Au(III) complexes of interest. Comprehensive photophysical and theoretical studies will be conducted to elucidate the structure and reactivity of the excited states.
