Radical Stability in Neutral and Anionic Systems (C06)

• Subject Area: Theoretical Chemistry: Electronic Structure, Dynamics, Simulation ; Organic Molecular Chemistry - Synthesis and Characterisation
• Term: from 2011 to 2019
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 27112786

The influence of negatively charged functional groups on the stability and reactivity of biologically relevant radicals will be studied using theoretical and experimental methods. Of particular interest in these studies will be peptide radicals. In collaborative projects with the Knochel and Trauner groups we will furthermore use theroetical methods to elucidate elements of stereocontrol in cyclization reactions and in reactions of organometallic systems.
