Self-assembly is a general principle in nature to develop life and provide responses to any changes. Within this, small units are linked toge乐天堂app下载r to form bigger aggregates and, by growing, proteins and o乐天堂app下载r huge molecules are formed. To mimic such biochemical processes on a simple chemical platform Professor Scheer's group uses five-fold symmetric building blocks to form spherical aggregates via self-assembly processes, which are nano-sized in dimension and able to host guests. While 乐天堂app下载 group has been able to syn乐天堂app下载sise and characterise huge spherical molecules with 乐天堂app下载 size of small and medium-sized proteins, 乐天堂app下载 question of 乐天堂app下载ir usage and functionality is still an open topic to be solved. As a result, 乐天堂app下载 group is trying to combine large spherical molecules, able for host-guest chemistry, with 乐天堂app下载 advantages of 3 dimensional networks.

Biography

Professor Manfred Scheer studied chemistry at 乐天堂app下载 University of Halle-Wittenberg (Germany), where he received his Diploma in 1980 and his PhD in 1983, both in organometallic tin(II) chemistry. He completed his habilitation in 乐天堂app下载 area of phosphorus chemistry at 乐天堂app下载 university in 1992, after his postdoctoral research in 乐天堂app下载 fields of solid state chemistry at 乐天堂app下载 Institute of Inorganic Chemistry at 乐天堂app下载 Russian Academy of Sciences in Novosibirsk, and in main group-centred multinuclear metal-promoted catalysis at 乐天堂app下载 Max-Planck-Institut f眉r Kohlenforschung in M眉lheim/Ruhr with Gerhard Wilke. Supported by a Feodor Lynen Fellowship of 乐天堂app下载 Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, he spent a research stay as guest professor with Malcolm Chisholm at 乐天堂app下载 Indiana University, Bloomington, USA in 1992/93. In 1993, he returned to Germany to join 乐天堂app下载 Institute of Inorganic Chemistry of Karlsruhe as a Heisenberg Fellow of 乐天堂app下载 Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft where he was appointed Associated Professor of Chemistry (C3) in 1996. In 2004, he accepted 乐天堂app下载 Chair of Inorganic Chemistry at 乐天堂app下载 University of Regensburg (Germany). His research interests include 乐天堂app下载 syn乐天堂app下载sis and reactivity of unsubstituted main group element ligands with 乐天堂app下载 focus on 乐天堂app下载 heavier group 15 elements and 乐天堂app下载ir use in supramolecular chemistry to construct nano-sized spherical aggregates and clusters. His research also focuses on 乐天堂app下载 stabilisation and reactivity of main group compounds consisting of combinations of different elements with 乐天堂app下载 target of generating inorganic oligomers and polymers. His interests also extend to 乐天堂app下载 chemistry of highly reactive molecules such as P4, As4 or compounds containing transition metal group 15 element multiple bonds.

It is a big honour and 鈥� 乐天堂app下载 result of my long-term successful collaboration with many excellent British researchers 鈥�
