Picture: Alexander HinzThe Hinz group investigates reactive molecular compounds. We use sterically demanding ligands to stabilise unusual structural motifs with a wide range of elements from across the periodic table. We study reactivities, catalysis and special spectroscopic properties.
Current areas of focus are:
- low-valent or cationic compounds of silicon, germanium, tin and lead
- alkaline earth metal hydride complexes
- rare earth element compounds
