Latest state of the art
(pug) Since 2012, the buildings of the Faculty of Chemistry at the University of Göttingen have been gradually renovated. After the chemical storage, workshop building, and Building E with lecture halls, learning areas, and provisional laboratory spaces, the renovation of Building H as a modern laboratory building is now complete. Since this semester, all practical areas of the Institute of Inorganic Chemistry and the Institute of Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry are located there.

Transition phase Start of studies
Starting a course of study is an important step in life, also in chemistry. We provide intensive support for our new students and are developing digital tools, advisory services and low-threshold networks in two projects. These help students get off to a successful start in their studies, but are also there to help them if, after a while, their studies turn out not to be a suitable path after all and they need to look for alternatives in the world of chemistry.

Education without boundaries between theory and experiment
The German Research Foundation (DFG) supports the Research Training Group (RTG) "Evaluative Experiments for Numerical Quantum Chemistry (BENCh)" at the University of Göttingen for another four and a half years. The RTG was established in January 2019 and now receives an extension of funding totaling just under 4.5 million euros.

Innovative: Electrochemical Molecule Synthesis Coupled with Hydrogen Production
Green hydrogen is considered the clean energy carrier of the future: it can be produced in a decentralized manner using renewable energy sources such as solar or wind energy without the release of climate-harming carbon dioxide. Researchers at the University of Göttingen are actively working on systems in which electrochemical hydrogen production is coupled with the conversion of carbon-hydrogen bonds. In the past, rare metals were used as catalysts to control the progress of such reactions. In a new process, however, inexpensive cobalt is used as the catalyst.

Precisely arranging nanoparticles
Research team at Göttingen University develops plasmonic molecules from nanoparticles. In the incredibly small world of molecules, the elementary building blocks – the atoms – join together in a very regular pattern. In contrast, in the macroscopic world with its larger particles, there is much greater disorder when particles connect. A research team at the University of Göttingen has now succeeded in achieving the same precise arrangement of atoms shown in molecules, but using nanometer-sized particles, known as “plasmonic molecules” – combinations of nanoscale metallic structures that have unique properties.
