2023 RSC/GDCh Alexander Todd-Hans Krebs Lectureship in Chemical Sciences Winner
Professor Stefanie Dehnen, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology
Awarded for pioneering research on molecular multinary cluster nanoarchitectures for innovative applications in catalysts, white-light emitters, and battery materials.
Professor Dehnen’s current research focus is the synthesis (and experimental and quantum chemical investigation) of compounds with multinary molecular nanoarchitectures. Her group have a particular interest in multi-metallic structures, which due to their electronic and structural properties, are significant for fundamental research in inorganic and materials chemistry. These materials have potential to be applied in a variety of ways; as innovative catalysts, white light emitters, or battery materials.
