Research profile
The unit is subdivided into an analytical and two synthetic research groups. One 
research topic is the chemistry of light- and electroactive compounds, with possible 
future applications as printed electronics. Another focus is on water-soluble carbon 
nanotubes, which is quite an established research field. The analytical group is 
interested in the structural elucidation of biomolecules such as proteins by NMR and 
mass spectroscopy. The basic research profile of the unit is visible, but applications

have to be proven. There is no clear strategy for new research topics; the unit wants to 
continue and extend existing projects.
