SPP 1178: Experimental Charge Density as the Key to Understand Chemical Interactions

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The recent results from experimental charge density investigations showed that the method is capable to give answers to controversially discussed bonding issues and to provide innovative new concepts. In this Priority Programme the method is developed by integration of leading national und international groups, flagship research facilities (neutron reactor FRM II, synchrotron), theoretical approaches and modern spectroscopy. The contributing chemical-preparative groups supply methodically and chemically relevant lead structures featuring currently not understood bonding. The close linking of the methodical and preparative groups assures that the results of the charge density studies will generate a common language, wider used than currently available. The scientific synergy results from increasing the field of view: methodologists work at chemical relevant systems, and synthetically orientated chemists get new concepts via the deeper insight in their systems.
