GRK 2226: Chemical bond activation

重点研究活性较低的化合物的活化对可持续获得化学产品起着关键作用，此外，高效的活化反应应该比目前在化学工业中使用的传统工艺提供显著的经济优势。由于这些事实，必须将巨大的经济潜力分配给激活惰性化合物。基于这一评估，研究培训小组(Graduiertenkolleg)的科学目标是开发选择性激活活性较低的C-H键的新方法，并在效率、选择性、范围和稳健性方面显著改进现有方法。这将通过跨学科研究项目来实现，这些项目集中在一些选定的重要C-H键活化反应上。一般来说，起点是对激活机制的深刻理解，这将通过结合使用最先进的分析和理论方法来实现。从化学和生物化学的所有领域精心选择不同类别的激活过程和所需的各种调查方法，确保研究培训组的博士生将熟悉广泛的跨学科方法学知识，这是在这一未来具有高度相关性的研究领域成功工作所必需的。为了实现这一教育目标并进一步提高博士生的就业能力，计划中的研究培训小组将并入由奥尔登堡卡尔冯·奥西耶茨基大学运营的研究生院“科学、医学和技术”(OLTECH)。这为提高博士生的具体科学知识提供了机会，并将通过提供侧重于沟通能力和“软技能”(跨学科能力、可转让技能)的额外培训来提高学生的就业能力。总之，参加研究培训小组将为博士生提供许多不同的国内和国际职业机会，因为预计由于有机会解决当今S的经济和生态问题，化学键活化领域将在世界范围内受到越来越多的关注。

Research that focuses on the activation of less reactive chemical compounds plays a keyrole for a sustainable access to chemical products and in addition, efficient activation reactions should offer significant economic advantages over conventional processes which are nowadays used in chemical industry. Due to these facts, an enormous economic potential has to be assigned to the activation of inert chemical compounds. Based on this assessment, the scientific aim of the Research Training Group (Graduiertenkolleg) is the development of new methods for the selective activation of less reactive C-H bonds and the significant improvement of existing methods with regard to efficiency, selectivity, scope and robustness. This will be achieved by interdisciplinary research projects which focus on a number of selected important C-H bond activation reactions. In general, the starting point is the generation of a deep understanding of the activation mechanisms which will be achieved by the combined use of the most advanced analytical and theoretical methods. The deliberate selection of different classes of activation processes and the required various methods of investigation from all areas of chemistry and biochemistry guarantee that the PhD students of the Research Training Group will be acquainted with a wide and interdisciplinary methodological knowledge that is required for successful work in this research area of high future relevance. To reach this educational goal and to additionally enhance the employability of the PhD students, the planned Research Training Group will be integrated into the Graduate School "Science, Medicine and Technology" (OLTECH) operated by the Carl von Ossietzky University Oldenburg. This provides the opportunity to improve the specific scientific knowledge of the PhD students and the employability of the students will be enhanced by providing additional training that focuses on communication competences and "soft skills" (interdisciplinary competences, transferable skills). Taken together, participation in the Research Training Group should offer many different national and international career opportunities for the PhD students because it is expected that due to the chance of solving today´s economic and ecological problems, increasing attention will be paid to the area of chemical bond activation world-wide.
