GRK 2226: Chemical bond activation

专注于活性较低的化合物的活化的研究对于可持续地获得化学产品起着关键作用，此外，有效的活化反应应该比目前化学工业中使用的传统工艺提供显着的经济优势。由于这些事实，必须将巨大的经济潜力分配给惰性化合物的活化。基于这一评估，研究培训小组（Graduiertenkolleg）的科学目标是开发新方法，选择性激活反应性较低的C-H键，并在效率、选择性、范围和稳健性方面显著改进现有方法。这将通过跨学科的研究项目来实现，这些项目侧重于一些选定的重要C-H键活化反应。在一般情况下，出发点是生成的激活机制，这将通过最先进的分析和理论方法的结合使用来实现的深刻理解。从化学和生物化学的所有领域中精心选择不同类别的活化过程和所需的各种调查方法，保证研究培训小组的博士生将熟悉广泛的跨学科方法学知识，这是在未来高度相关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被整合到研究生院“科学，医学和技术”（OLTECH）由卡尔·冯·奥西茨基大学奥尔登堡经营。这为提高博士生的具体科学知识提供了机会，学生的就业能力将通过提供额外的培训来提高，重点是沟通能力和“软技能”（跨学科能力，可转移技能）。总的来说，参加研究培训小组应该为博士生提供许多不同的国家和国际职业机会，因为预计由于解决当今经济和生态问题的机会，将越来越多地关注化学键活化领域。

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.
